Dude, you're way too panicky. I know generally people come here for aid, and most of the time they can get it, but you are unreasonably panicking about everything. You have been told many times that it is fine, give it time, nothing to worry about yet you keep making new and new posts when there is no issue whatsoever. You need to CALM DOWN as everything looks fine, nothing seems to be an issue but if you are really worried, stop spamming these forums, go see a doctor that can examine you and let him or her tell you that everything is fine.

Just chill dude, you're scaring the children <3.

I know it can seem frightening and everything seems worse than it is, but that's just it. It's not as bad as it might look or seem to you. Just calm down and don't panic over everything. It will be fine. Keep repeating that in your head until it sinks in xD.

Its really not when all of us has shared this surgery and experience. You're just gonna have to toughen up as a man, calm down the worrisomeness, and realize that regardless of anything or whatever, its gonna take the time 6 weeks >=

Scabs will take up to a couple of weeks to fall off depending of the size of the cut underneath and your rate of healthing, age, etc. Your importance is to try and keep them on so be careful cleaning you don't rip it off prematurely.

You actually look like you are healing well compared to the photos after your operation.

I'm going fine too, 1 day ahead of you. Night erections aren't waking me up as much which is heaven. Still sore but less so.

Was back to work on Monday, back out walking and hiking with no issues. Getting used to feeling the head exposed but that'll take months maybe even longer. Great to be able to piss standing up again without it going over my hand and trousers. Shooting straight as a die.

It's a long road as was my knee operation but in the long run I feel it will definitely be worth it.

That’s nice to know mate thankyou glad your on the mend the only part im worried about is where my skin is over the inner foreskin and doesn’t go back at all that’s the furthest it goes back ^^ in the photo

Looks similar to mine. Bear in mind the stitches are probably hindering movement. Last thing I want to do is even attempt to pull it back.

It looks like a good job IMO

Okay well il just leave it for now then :( struggling to clean it tho did you have scabs like mine ?

Paul99 in reply toChris3108

No real scab worth noting. Had some bleeding from a stitch hole. The stitching on mine is different than what I have seen on here. Seems to be like a wrap around stitch.

It's fine though to have scabs, as long as you're not losing blood it's OK.

Nah haven’t lost much at all tbh

Yeah I have the wrap around stitch pattern done too! On my paperwork its called "continous". My doctor said that its meant to hold the skins circularly around until its final dissolving. He says it's better theoretically than doing individual stitches per mm's of space. The continuous string also concealss the underlying stitch work for I guess... "out of sight, out of mind" for the worrysome types. Lol

Chris3108 in reply toQfellow

See qfellow I haven’t got that I got individual stitches and it’s not continuous also I didn’t have a choice of how I wanted mine as mine was done by the nhs and they only do one style...

Actually looking at mine this morning most of mine are gone. Only ones left are underneath at the frenulum where they have tied the thread and one loop on the left.

You can see that you are now improving by the minute. Don't worry about the scab it will fall by time.

Chris you need to make up your mind, a few days ago you were worrying they weren't falling out, now your worrying they are falling out... which is it?? its been said god knows how many times... STOP WORRYING!!!!!.... Im over 2 weeks since mine and i have no clue how many stitches are out and i dont care! ill wait until a month and if there are some left ill get them removed.. Is there anything anyone can say to calm you down?? because i dont think this site can keep up with you.. I know to begin with you were worried, we all are to begin with.. but you have to be rational thinking.. You ask for advice and receive it but never take it.. or you do take it then move onto something else to worry about.. Unless your penis comes off in your hand dont worry!

Just incase anyone thinks im being harsh i have been supporting Chris by text away from this site..

Not what you're looking for?
