Circumcision

[2Shivam]

It’s 21st day of my circumcision and my stiches are still there can anyone suggest me by which date i can have sex or masturbate ?

Only you will know when you're ready for either. I had dissolvable stitches removed on day 14 as they were extremely uncomfortable. I wanked very gently from day 10 to relieve some tension. Had normal sex from first day of week 4 and amazing it was too!

Hey, how did you get your stitches removed? Mine look so small like idk how they would even get their scissors onto them without cutting into my penis. My shaft is really swollen too. This is awful so far...

I just went to see the nurse at my GP practice. All out within 5 mins. She said after 14 days they have done their job and it is OK to remove them. Things improve so much quicker once stitches gone.

Were your stitches long? like were you able to see the ends of it and actually able to remove them? Mine are so short idk how they will remove them...

[Daz81 in reply to j_flow230]

Yes. The legs of the stitches were looking that's why they were uncomfortable. Here's some pics of what my stitches were like at around 4 days post op. Now coming up to 9 weeks post op. Wish I'd had it done tears ago.

Legs of stitches were long not looking! Bloody predictive text!

Mine are also really uncomfortable especially with underwear on..but the legs of the stitches are still really short, but i can still feel them. You are lucky..not much swelling. My shaft has so much swelling...

This is my post with my pic. This is like 3 days post op, and I am now 7 days post op, but it still looks pretty much the same. The shaft is still super swollen just like that image. idk what to do...

[Daz81 in reply to j_flow230]

Yes that does look really swollen. It will probably look different again in another weeks time. Feel free to message me on here if you want to chat.

Can we roam like i take a walk for an hour daily , its fine ? Or should i stop taking a walk ?

[Daz81 in reply to 2Shivam]

Try and do things as normal as possible. The more you do, the quicker things will get back to normal.

You yourself can feel when it is ok. Of course stitches should be absorbed and wounds should be healed. Nevertheless you must be sexually excited and should have a willing partner . Take care. All the best. Good luck

I had dissolvable stitches and waited the full six weeks as recommended. It was worth the wait although I was pretty nervous the first time. If you feel ready give it a try but take things slowly and use plenty of lube.

I masturbate on 21st day and my stiches are still there , can it create a problem in future or it’s fine ?

Please help me out ?

[jaglad]

No it should not create a problem in the future. If anything was to go wrong I would thing you would know almost straight away. Just be careful.

[2Shivam in reply to jaglad]

Thanks jaglad ! Also can you help me knowing that i masturbate on 22nd day with stiches , it will be fine or ??

[jaglad]

The Expert advice is to wait six weeks, but if you have done it sooner then unless you are in discomfort now then all should be fine. If the stitches are causing you pain then it may be best to consult your Doc'. But, as I say if you feel ok, then do not worry. Just be careful, use lube or as I did a soft material that you more slide over the penis rather than gripping it.
