Day 1after circumcision

Heya guys, well I had my circumcision done yesterday at around 3pm and I was told that I could take a bath this morning to help get the dressing off and clean up.

My little chap is still bleeding a fair bit, but I think that's to be expected this early on though. It's very bruised and swollen at the moment.

As I'm in the early stages, I've no idea how the healing process is supposed to go, so I'm hoping all is well so far.

Here's a pic of it so far (sorry it's not a great photo)

Cheers all!

looking great man. your head is really nice, mine is still so bad. i had blisters on it because the bandage and compression gauze were put on too tight and my pee lips are still very sensitive purple swollen and so damn painful... so to me it looks like you will have a sped up recovery

It's a little uncomfortable, but I'm not really in any pain as such. It is very swollen and bruised though.

It was done at Montague hospital in doncaster

I just followed the surgeon's advice, he saw me after the op to answer any questions i may have had after the surgery. So i guess he must have thought it would be ok

Hiya! Yep I added sea salt to my bath. It definitely stings a bit, but I'm gonna keep doing it. Hopefully it will ease up soon.

I'll post a new pic tomorrow as it will be day 7. I have noticed that the swelling around the cut is actually covering the cut itself, so I'm not sure that the salt water will have gotten to the cut at the top of the penis. I tried pulling it back a little bit to reveal the cut, but it felt like I was pulling on the stitches a bit, so I didn't want to go any further
