circumcision - Week 6

[Unknown6991]

Yep that time again - 6 weeks on!! For anyone new reading I was circumcised on UK NHS for phimosis when hard only.

Will have to be a short one this week as very short for time, but a super positive week. I’d say 6 out of the 7 days have been good, odd discomfort but certainly better. One wobble on Saturday with a sharp scratch pain and didn’t know what was, eventually saw and spoke to a health person and turns out was just where it rubbed and friction with boxers during night and by next day it went away.

Not a lot else to say, still using cream (previous post as for why) - today last day. And to my shock today I got 95-99% of a full erection without the discomfort and got to see what it would look like. There was some dried stuff around the bottom of head, I think dry cream…but not 100% tbh. Anyone else have this? And to those who may be wanting to know at this stage have I masturbated? The answer is still no, although getting there I think gonna allow just a bit more time for it to heal and settle rather than rush and disrupt anything. Will leave there, any questions get in touch

thanks for updates, your inputs are very useful. I’m on day 18, and I was wondering if you got the donut like swelling at all? My circumcision is healing well, but I do have donut swelling and wondered if you experienced this and if it went down? Thanks for any info or feedback- still a bit concerned- I know I’m being impatient as the stitches are still to fully melt.

Hello! By doughnut swelling do you mean the pink ring at like bottom of the head? Which case yep still there. Think it’s a patience game I’m afraid this recovery, have to try stay mentally strong that are recovering and things will improve

Thanks for replying.

Yes, it’s right behind the glans and it’s the swelling of the inner foreskin where it’s stitched on the outer.

Has that swelling reduced over time at all for you or is it still the same as earlier?

My glans is exposed all the time, (which is good to remove the phimosis) sensitivity is coming down and I’m wearing normal underwear and jeans.

Still some slight bleeding around the frenulum but very slight.

The swelling is the only part I’m freaking out about.

Thanks.

Yup I'm on day 12 and have donut swelling right above where the incision is on the inner foreskin... Thought it would've gone down by now but I guess not lol

[Unknown6991]

Ah fair, tbh I could never really see the ring before as I was cut very close to head so still have a covering when flaccid but I’d imagine it must be coming down. Swelling at your stage I’m sure is deffo to be expected
