Just looking for a bit of advice really. I had a circumcision exactly a week ago today due to a moderately tight foreskin that was causing pain and discomfort.
Since having the op, I'm finding it difficult to urinate properly - I'm having to sit down as it's just spraying everywhere although I am sure this is to do with swelling?
I have also noticed that one side underneath the stiches seems to pull a bit back compared to the other side and as such I seem to be pointing towards the left even when flaccid ; I wasn't like this before.
Is this normal symptoms post op or do I have something to worry about?
Thanks so much!

Yes I sprayed everywhere and had to sit down but it'll come ok again once your penis as recovered from the manhandling. One week is too early to tell what things will look like so maybe wait and see
Heya. One week is early days. I was spraying everywhere at this stage, mate. Sat down to piss for a fair few weeks. Remember, we all heal at different speeds. Don't rush to panic or judge at this early stage. You got this.
yes i’m 2 weeks post circ’ and urinating is still a bit strange I sit down as it goes all over the place if i don’t ! My stitches did pull but a bit and i got blood blisters on part of stitch line which i first thought were pulled stitches but they weren’t.
I’m about 10 weeks post op, I was still urinating sat down upto about week 8, but now I just urinate as normal stood up. It all just takes time man, no stress
Really appreciate your replies guys! I think with suffering from Phimosis for so long I've just panicked myself that things aren't right still haha!
I've got a Variocele Embolisation booked in for next week which has been playing havoc with my testosterone levels so you can imagine it's not been a great time lately!
Mate, I had the worst time, I won’t go into detail because I don’t want to panic you or anything but I was just super unlucky with the recovery. BUT…I got there in the end, don’t let the look of it or anything get to you, it will heal fine I promise you
Others have answered the peeing thing - it'll be fine - but re: the pulling to one side I think you'll find when the stitches come out that will be OK too. Skin is stretchy, stitches aren't. Good luck with that and your balls!
