Circumcision - do I have to keep my penis facing up during recovery?

[jinxjammers]

I was not informed of this by my doctor but I have just read that you aren't meant to let it hang down??

Also SALT BATHS - am I meant to be having these after the op? I was not advised of this. Do I just have a bath and pour lots of salt in?

THanks in advance

Ive heard it helps keeping penis upright. But i didnt do it neither did i do salt baths and i didnt catch an infection nor did i have any problems... from what ive read u can pour water into a cup. Pour some salt into it and dip ur penis inside for a few seconds. Its menna speed up the healing process

Read up on it first tho because there was a certain salt which was better but i cant remember which one

I just got my Circumcision last Tuesday the 17th and what I do is to 1. keep a guaze bandage wrapped around the tip of your penis to keep it from touching the cloth of your underwear or whatever your doctor had told you to wear. Or you could just lay the guaze under your penis when it’s looking up 2. But don’t ever take a Bath and out any type of cream on your penis cause it would just slow the healing process down. Take a warm( I recommend you to instead of cold) shower and don’t let it where the whole shower is facing your penis burning it to death. Let it run through your body to keep it clean and wet so it will heal faster. Make sure you pat it a little so it’s dried. The reason why you shouldn’t take a bath is because all of the bacteria in your bathtub will expose your penis and it would not feel good. You want it to have air and water at the same time. I know I’m not a doctor but I just had my checkup yesterday from the doctor and he told me it was healing really fast and looks great.
