Hi guys, I had a Circumcision three days ago, the head is super sensitive and little sore, also have lump sticking out on the glans on the front, but I can’t see the stitches at all, they seem to be buried inside the skin - remaining foreskin, also the the head is not fully exposed but like 30% . I’m a little freaked out Over the whole thing and any comments or help most appreciated- 41 years old... thanks guys..,
Update... now on day 7 post op, been taking NSAID but surgeon only allowed weeks medication- will swelling go down on its own now? It’s still quite sore and the chaffing hurts occasionally? Any recommendations for this?

Hey Chris, I’m on day 3 post op, swelling is still pretty bad, not really sore much but have this weird little lump on edge of glans, does this sound normal, I’ll upload photos when I’m alone... ☺️ But have tenderness on glans area and sensitive around area.... but still can’t see stitches .... 😩
Hey mate I’m the same I can’t even see my stitches at all :/ I’m worried I can’t pull the skin back to clean them...? And my glans sensative as fuck and so is the area and my area has swollen right up and gone red as fuck
Yeah that's correct! Don't worry about retracting your skin. The swelling is too much pressure to allow you to anyways. Don't worry about cleaning it. It's a recent wound in which your body will perform the cleaning itself using lymph fluid, white blood cells, and proteins carried to it by your red blood. Only clean what u can see, and leave the swelling area alone. When it settles down and flatten out, then it will be sealed enough for you to wash with water and mild soap on the outside. Swelling doesn't go down until the body's immune technology sends the signal to the lymph system.
No don’t force back the skin whatever you do I was tempted and went to docs and they said leave it to heal DONT force it back coz you will just open the wound and that’s the last thing you want
That’s okay, they will just dissolve I couldn’t see mine apart from the legs of the stitches which I could only see millimetres of, just don’t pull the skin just leave it for about another 7-10 days and then let me know how it is
Daz81 penis was operated on and looked just like yours. He had the same concerns. Check his photos out, and then check his final result & healed pics out. It looks gteat and he's satisfied. So just message him as he has the perfect strategy for your exact situation
Wonder what the little lump thing sticking out the front is?
Sounds a lot like mine and Daz81 if you click his name he posted pictures during his recovery which helped me a lot. I'm at day 11 at the moment and could pull it back fully to reveal all the stitches at around day 9 once the swelling had gone down a fair bit, hope this helps.
I'm day 7 post op. Surgeon told me I had a large amount of inflammation seconds after surgery. Girth was 3 times the size. Can't see stitches at all, other than the bottom of the wound/penis. Still looks like a hotdog in pastry with no stitches. 2 stitches have popped at the bottom. Black and purple colours have gone now, thought it would never end. (After 5 days) Still awaiting to see the majority of all stitches. Just want it to heal. Don't care about looks anymore. Photos always helps. Not enough courage myself yet to share. 34 yrs.
Mine looks like that too... also getting slight sting when urinating - plus don’t even need to hold it when peeing goes straight out like a hose pipe though the glans also swollen to three times its normal size!
hi, I’m looking for some advice I’m like that after day 6, had to go back yesterday cause looked like it was infected so they gave me some antibiotics to clear it up, I woke up dry this morning no weeping but as the day goes on I’ve got some clear stroke pink fluid that’s just coming out of the skin where the stitches are, it’s only a right little bit is this normal
