Hey guys big day is Thursday ... anything in particular i should wear for the ride home or have in handy at home. I should be able to take 2 weeks off of work without a problem ...

Hi mate I was Circumsised last Thursday and I was worried about what to wear too. It doesn’t actually matter what you wear because you will be numb in that area for about 6-7 hours after surgery. Even if you have a general anaesthetic (like I did), in terms of once the numbing has worn off, wear tight boxers they help to keep everything in place and not to let sensativity bother too much

How long did you wait to shower or bathe any tips on that ...?

[Gnikow in reply to allstar1979]

My surgeon told me to keep it dry for 48 hours. After that I bathed in warm salt water for 10-15 mins 2 times a day, this should promote healing and clean the wound

I’m a week after op and still sensitive tbh some people say tight boxers some say loose basically do what works for you..for me I wear nothing at home naked from the waist down and it feels great

Allstar, I note you say 'ride' home and not 'drive' home, because it's important not to drive yourself anywhere until your penis has healed. So I assume you will be given a lift by a sympathetic friend or family member who will try to avoid a bumpy journey back home. In my case it was my eldest daughter (a student nurse at the time) who was my brick through everything I had to endure.

Before we left the hospital she first told me not to replace my pants, just my trousers. That helped to a small extent because all I wanted was no pressure on the circumcision wound. But In her car travelling home I was still very uncomfortable. She suggested I unbuckle my belt, undo my trousers and take out my bandaged penis.

What a huge relief that was!

-----------------------------------------------------

PLEASE DO use loose-fitting clothing - both day and night after your circumcision. And even go naked from the waist down as best you can from day to day until you are fully healed.

I hope you will find something similar to the support I was given when my penis healed. My daughter - still my brick and now a qualified hospital Sister - continues from time to time to give me advice about making the best of my circumcised penis. But it's from her viewpoint as a female - trying as she does to understand a male perspective.

Oh, and do keep in mind that you have the right to REFUSE a circumcision, even if your doctor refers you to a urologist for the operation.
