Tell me about it, I couldn’t touch, kiss or hold mine and anything sexual on tv got skipped it’s a real pain literally but you’ll find it calms down and you just get over the fact your not getting any for a few weeks. Your circ is still quite fresh once the swelling goes down it won’t be so tight anymore.
Ryanr, do you think erection and/or shower can rupture the disolvable stitches? I got fresh blood around the wound today (day 8) pisses me off because I thought all ok until a couple of days ago. Just called 111 and the said check with the hospital tomorrow. I dont want to be stiched again, can’t cope with the bleeding 😔
Many thanks. Felt a bit down because of this new bleeding it’s so bunched up due to swelling and some extra skin left etc, can’t really see what is happening exactly. Is the stitching dissolving/broken etc... Thank for your advise.
Yeah you get like that I felt depressed at one point I was really down about it but was reassured by people that had been through it and I was ok again.
The excess skin won’t be there once everything settles mine was a tight cut but still had extra skin as my penis shrivelled up probably as it was traumatised 😂
You wouldn’t believe how many other men I’ve spoken to about it, it’s more common than you think even at Work there is 2 of us and the boss circumcised 😂
It is worth it in the end it’s not as sensitive during sexual intercourse but it’s still good and far better than worrying about hurting yourself during intercourse 👍
I had it done 11 days ago now. It is getting much better. Still uncomfortable to sleep and wear pants, but in my opinion the short term discomfort and inconvenience is worth it.
After the first week there was a noticeable inporevement and I’m hoping to be close to normal by week 2. Still showering twice a day and applying neosporin regularly which seems to be helping healing.
Ryan, many who suffered with phimosis prior to circumcision actually report an initial increase in sensitivity. Eventually that changes as the thickening of the mucosa occurs. I suspect too that the position of the cut line is a factor. Mucosa is generally more sensitive than skin. Were you left a generous amount of yoor inner foreskin?
I agree. For those who did not have any issues before circumcision, it def decreases sensitivity. But you take the good with the bad. Sex and blowjobs are less intense but when I jerk off with lube to jerk off it def feels great. (And unfortunately that’s a much more frequent event these days)
It’s been 8 weeks on the 21st, everything is good, no problems and works fine I can’t even feel it in my boxers anymore and I had a sharp throbbing pain but that’s gone now
I took pics everyday after the bandage came off. I was thinking about starting a chain with photos of the initial healing process because I was really concerned about what I was seeing and thought that maybe it wasn’t healing right. It would have helped me to see what others looked like to compare.
Is that something that would be helpful for guys going through this?
I will. But since I don’t know if everything is going to turn out alright I figured I’ll wait before posting. Because right now I still don’t know if it’s gonna heal right in the end so it won’t be very helpful at this point.
From what I can tell it seems to be healing without infection and little swelling. But I’m not an expert and not sure what it should look like at this point. I still have some stitches and swelling.
There's plenty of different posts with photos on here. All are different and heal differently. As long as it's kept clean and there's no signs of infection it will be fine.
How long did it take for your stitches to start coming out? And how long did it take for you to see it was improving. I’m on day 6 and although i can pull back a little now i feel like it’s still extra swollen towards the bottom.
At day 14 stitches were showing no signs of dissolving and we're very uncomfortable. I went to nurse at my GP practice and she removed them there and then. She said after 2 weeks they had done their job. Things improved so much quicker after stitches had gone. I could Ullman back fully from around day 7. Bruising and swelling had gone by around day 14. Masturbated gently from day 10 and back to full sex from 4 weeks.
I'm now 6 weeks and really pleased with it. Can't leave it alone!
Feel free to message me if I can help you further.
Thanks man everything looks relatively normal i guess but we want it done quick lol. I thought the swelling on the bottom side looked weird but reading here apparently it’s normal. I actually want to go back to work already
I had 10 days off work purely because I'm a bus driver and didn't want to be bouncing about for 10 hours a day with a cock that was already black and blue. It was uncomfortable going back on day 10 as stitches felt like cheese wire round my bellend! Such a relief when I had them out on day 14.
Try using an antibacterial penis health creme like Man1 Man Oil instead. It cleans and eliminates bacteria on contact and contains Vitamin E and shea butter for soothing effects. I use it and it is way better than soap. Check it out
