Curved erection after circumcision

[Brodius77]

Hi guys. I got circumcised 20 days ago due to phimosis as I was unable to retract the foreskin even in flaccid state. The healing since the snip has been OK or so the doctor says. Stitches have started coming off from one side. Yesterday I had an erection and to my horror, I saw my penis curving towards left. I have never had curved erection before. Also, stitches have come off on the left and there's swelling as well on the left side. I want to know if anyone else faced such issue. Please help. I am unable to get off due to the fear of curvature. The right side of my penis doesn't curve at all and swelling is also minimal. Please help

It's gonna be fine once everything has been healed. Your penis is curving to the left due to the swelling. Once all stitches have been gone out and the swelling has gone it's gonna be back to normal. Just give it some time.

Hopefully. Thanks

You shouldn't be "getting off" anyway at 20 days. It is recommended not to masturbate 4-6 weeks post OP.

As for the curving, you pretty much answered yourself. Still healing, still swollen, can be the cause of it. No need to worry about it.

I agree with Cipher, I’m on day 19 and will not even entertain the idea of masturbation for several weeks!

Thanks Cipher. Much appreciated

This early in the game, it’s not possible to predict what will happen. It may be a condition of healing, but it’s also possibly a result of surgical error. The tightness of the cut on one side could cause that. Let it heal six months to see how it goes. If you still have the curve, manual stretching can correct it. Ironically, stretching could have prevented losing your foreskin.
