I took 2 weeks as I found sitting very uncomfortable for the first 10-14 days. Everyone’s going to be different. Wearing tighter underwear was definitely the right choice. Hope all goes well for you.

I was cut, due to phimosis, on the 8th of March in the UK, had to go private due to the waiting time on NHS. I went to my own GP on Friday the 14th March. She said take 21 days off and gave me sick line, she did say I could go back early if I wanted too, but I'm going to take the time and rest up. Still waiting on my donut Frankenstein, thats what my wife has called my good man !, swelling to start to reduce at the moment.

I took no time off but I have an office job. I had been wearing the foreskin back for some time prior so was no issue on sensitivity

I signed myself off work for three weeks with a combination of holiday days and medical leave. It was nice - just chilled as much as I could with a sore penis and made/painted a load of Warhammer models. How about you?

I had a revision done 5 years ago I took 2 days off & was back in the office . My original circumcision I took a week off. The original circumcision the recovery took ages but the revision was pain free no bruising or swelling or bleeding but I did have stitches & glue I think the glue was the game changer .

Very much depends on the type of work you do and how you react to the surgery. I had the cut on Friday and worked from home on the following Tuesday. By Wednesday I was ok to walk (about 20 minutes each way) to and from work. The following Saturday I was back on my mountain bike (ok, the surgeon may not have endorsed that 😬).
