Circumcision advice please.

I had a circumcision only yesterday. I'm obese and have quiet a buried penis when flacid but was a decent size when erect. Had procedure due to phimosis. I'm already worried that there's a problem as it feels as if the penis is being held in when I get an erection. As if there is not enough skin for the erect penis. Am I over reacting so early on and had anyone else had these issues?

Oh that’s completely normal!

I’m sure it happens to everyone because of the stitches being tight it’s definitely gonna be tight and very painful! It was for me anyway so I think you shouldnt worry about it!

But it’s completely understandable that youre worried, literally everything that happened with me even if it wasn’t normal I was straight onto google and extremely worried so for your sake try your best not to be like that!

All the best!

A lot of replies will say 'be patient' but that is the best answer.

If your circumcision was that recent erections are likely to be very painful. Mine was 6 weeks ago and erections are uncomfortable still but not painful. Yes, my erection is not as large as it was but l have been assured that in time the skin will stretch to allow it to reach its full potential. I do hope the doctor is right.

Until then... I'm being patient!

If you had a circumcision just yesterday then you are worrying way to soon. I don't think I even had an erection for the first 3 nights after the circumision lol. I was so "worried" and "stressed out". Trust me you do not want your erections to be proper right now. The stitching will make them hurt so be glad for them to be like they are coz around week 1 the swelling will subside and your penis will be getting more erections and slowly starting to go back to normal and thats when the most annoying part starts ... waking up in the middle of the night with pain 3 times a night is not fun. But that too will pass.

Do NOT watch porn or anything sexy for at least the first 4-6 weeks and keep your hands off xD.

Sounds like sound advice. I am a worrier. Bruising is only just really starting to come out now on day 3. Still seems really strange peeing with your head exposed. I hadnt been able to retract it hardly at all for a long time.Thanks.
