Is penis length effected by circumcision

So before my circumcision these were my measurements...

Flacid-3.2 inch

Erect- 6.6 inch

Now after my circumcision it feels like my penis length is longer when its flacid but shorter when erect. Please note it may be different because I was circumcized 2 weeks ago. I just want anyone who has an idea to tell me if there is a decline or increase in length and why.

I was fairly happy with my above average penis and would be sad to find out I may lose that pride ;(

My mans, Im not about to pump my penis. Im just worried about natural length, you're not gonna catch me using penis enlargement pills or some pump.

Your penis size does not get affected by a circumcision whatsoever. Your foreskin is a couple of millimeters thick so having it removed will not have much to do with your size. Furthermore when erect, normally your foreskin would be retracted anyway so your head would be exposed, like it is when you are circumcised. A full erection might be hindered due to some swelling but overall no, your penis is the same size it was before.

i don’t think size gets affected but is all just an illusion,

the foreskin may have made your penis look slightly smaller or slighter bigger

but i would wait until you heal fully and measure

It certainly did with me. Before when erect I was 7.5 inches. Now barely three. I had a low and tight circumcision. I think the issue has been that I'm a grower not a show-er and too much skin has been taken preventing a full erection. It's still there but now gets erect into my scrotum.

I have to go and see a urologist to see if it can be fixed.

wtf I'd be so depressed... I was 16.5 cm before (6.5 inches) and I'm worried about losing length. I hope it's not that significant (still have to measure it)

I was worried about loosing length too after I got cut. It was a little shorter at first but now I'm back to full length after the it all healed up.

So it should be normal right?

In my case it went back to normal... but some other people on this page have had different experiences. I hope you return to normal size too.

I still don't know if it's smaller bc I'm avoiding erections and can't really measure. I guess scarring could also influence this so I might apply some cream later

How long did this take?

Weeks or months?

About 2 months. Use bio oil to help the skin heal

After being cut it went from 9 to 8 but now I'm back to 9 inches. So a full inch

Hey man, do you remember how long you waited before it returned to its normal length. Got an erection with a bandage on so that might have affected it but I lost like 2-2.5 cm.

I think about 2 months or so

Okay thank you. I've got some extra skin near the wound which might be what's making me lose that length (it looks like swollen skin near the stitches). You made me feel a bit better.
