I had mine due to phimosis too. I am now 55.

You won't feel a thing buddy and most probably done under a local, ie you won't be sleeping through it.

Getting support through this forum will assure you how things are amongst us all.

Healing time differs, I am just past 16 days and still some swelling...

Good luck and happy healings from Down Under !!

Furthermore ignore all of this auntie circumcision shit. Putting it bluntly these tend to be religious fanatics who are totally oblivious to our situations and are quite on sensitive to the reality of phimosis and the fact that not all cases can be treated by stretching. With regard to erections these are natural And due to REM and nature they will happen during the night. I didn’t experience any bleeding or splitting of stitches though some people do however it is a very very small minority that find themselves in medium levels of pain with this . Elections are natural they will happen during the day as they normally do you will feel somewhat uncomfortable but there is no real need to worry just walk around during the day to walk it off and make sure you go to the bathroom and empty your tank before bed to stop erections at night. Directions feel kind of weird in that you can kind of feel the stitches but it’s nothing too painful and you get used to it. And by the way did you go away

The stitched are will not split if you instruct the surgeon to leave enough skin to accomodate erections

the surgery is actually grand. I’m 21 and basically the first two 1/2 weeks are the ordeal . For me right now 3 weeks after , I’m back living life and in no pain at all. What is nasty is a) when you wake up in the bed and cop what’s happened and your penis is wrapped up in a gauge - that shit is weird. Make sure you have someone to drive you home and store your penis upright into your trousers (facing up) this will stop it hurting off your trousers.

B) taking the gauge off is a bitch . It took me an hour but you can do it nicely by soaking in the bath for 5 mins and unwrapping the heavy part then soaking it in lukewarm water so that the remaineder of can come off . Inn a bit of a bitich so I wiggled around in the lukewarm water and allowed it to sort off fall off.

C) say goodbye to life if you can for 10/11 days. Close the curtains in your sitting room flake out and binge on Netflix now cos your dick will be sensitive AF . It’ll seem day after day like nothing is happening but keratinaztion happens without u knowing . Just mke sure u have those baths every am. They work !!

By day 10 start Vaseline ing you’re jocks and slowly if ok with you putting em on. I made the mistake ofonly wearing jocks and not wearing shorts or trousers . Wearing tight jocks and tight trousers will help BIG time as it desensitising you’re glans. Day by day it’ll get better. Also make sure you sleep naked and say goodbye to a duvet until week 2.5 as it’ll wake u up.

Mentally it’s abouy not wanking , enduring the time at home naked in your sitting room and then eventually getting the courage to put on clothes.

Im telling you now I have no regrets . My phimosis is gone and Ill be able to go back to having sex only this time without risk of injury.

Important to note though everyone is different but most people aren’t too dramatic .

Great summary Craig which I relate to now at 10 days post op. May I ask how long you waited until sex/masturbation?
