Road to Recovery Day 74

Hey everyone, just wanted to give an update where I am - day 74!

First things first, I am not happy with the overall look and experience. It has been a tough road from the healing to the tearing to the resuturing, etc! I will be having a revision done in April to have the back corrected. When it tore, it healed very bumpy and it feels and looks really gross. My Urologist said he is going to do his very best to make it feel and look much better! I would have to give the outcome 5/10, I am very disappointed.

I want to take a moment to talk about my most recent visit with my Urologist. I explained to him that when I get really erect I feel a pull coming from the scar line and it feels like my ballsack pulls forward. He told that it's going to take some time for the skin to naturally stretch, but I should continue to do the stretching techniques. Over time everything will go back to normal length and I won't feel a pull coming from the scar line. I feel when my penis is fully erect that it is being restricted and goes back in a little bit - it's such a weird feeling. I am a little over 2 inches still short, that is probably where the pressure is coming from! It's very disheartening.

Masturbation and Sex: jacking off is still new to me - I am trying to figure out what works best and what lube works for me. Does anyone have a lube preference? I am open to suggestions. The feel to me at times feels more sensitive than before, but there are times it just feels normal - could also be the type of lube? Is anyone able to masturbate without lube? Regarding sex, well, I have not had any. The whole experience and size has given me some really bad anxiety. Sex is no longer on my mind! My Urologist said that it's a rare side effect, but will change over time once the penis has fully healed. We'll see! I used to want to have sex all the time, but I don't even crave it anymore. Only reason I masturbate is to help stretch the skin.

The lack of a sex drive is very real for me.

I can honestly say that this is one of my biggest regrets! Maybe my tune will change over time, but as of now all I feel is anxiety each and every time I touch and look at my penis.

What type of cut did you get? Have you tried masturbating without lube and how does it go ?

Low and tight - my Urologist said that was going to be the best option. At first I couldn't masturbate without lube because the skin was so tight. The stretching techniques have been working some, but masturbating without lube is not possible for me right now.

I actually think yours circumcision looks just right.

I ended up with low and loose (see my profile) and I'm not satisfied. I think you are better with the tight one.

I could masturbate without lube, but... It all depends on your age, I guess. If you get circumcised as an adult, I could imagine it being a different case. I'm 13, 2.5 months after the circumcision. Started masturbating the 3rd week.

Also, forgot to mention that it also depends on the technique that they used to cut off the foreskin. For me, they didn't use the ring.

Yep I'm same as nano Pete and gives you more flex In the skin as before going under the knife i got erect to show them what I needed to accomodate as the surgeons always base it on stretched pulling which is no where near my erect length about 2.5 inch less as soft 4.5 but stretch 5.5in but fully solid 7.5in which sounds what's been done and i can wank anywhere without in home, car,truck,on a bike ride etc lol I haven't used lube for this week at all unless u count the Mrs sucking it lol I would give time and stretch out skin think to high and tight to accommodate dick length good luck it should have been better for u mind use coconut oil excellent for skin and wankin

in reply to Tedboyg

That’s interesting. Wasn’t it a bit weird showing your erection to the surgeon? Was it your idea or his? I always wondered how they decided how much to cut.

Mine as my m8 had same problem and was a few years to normal and if he looked at Mr soft my dick they wouldn't realise what it grew by stretch and the doctor didn't mind let's face it when you are under the knife he's got it in his hand lol I don't get embarrassment with normal body or functions I'm the nude guy sleeping on the beach with a boner and don't move lol good luck u will need time

Hi, I have been using your list of functions of the foreskin that you publish every now and then on some of your replies. I use these to train my doctors here in the US. They are all Total clueless on the functions of the foreskin. could you publish them again?

thanks

Hi johnny sorry to hear about your experience so far but don't be disheartened yet it is still early days for you

I had mine done almost 6 years ago like you I had a low and tight cut it does take time for everything to settle down I found the scar to be tight and with bumps on it as well it was a weird feeling but now I have to say

It is all back to normal soft and supple did use boi oill and I think it did help your skin will stretch in time but it takes a while

I use a bit of moisturiser to play but I can do without

Hello Johny86, Thank you for the photos. Sad to hear that you are unhappy with the results of your circumcision. I would agree that you have some nasty looking scar on the ventral side of your penis where your frenulum was located. I have similar scarring elsewhere on my body as a result of an accident and surgery that occurred when I was 16. I now am 69 and the scarring has not faded much over the years. It is just the results of surgery and stitching. Wishing you the best in your reconstructive surgery. Please keep us posted of the results.

Hey bud good to see you've recovered but do you really want to go through that experience again? I'm pretty sure it will heal up good..... Just need time. Hope it works out for you bud.

Hi, sorry to hear about your experience, and big thanks for sharing it. I’ve been on a similar experience... :( 3 stitches ripped so I have the wound open now, unfortunately. The doctor said it will heal over time, but I assume it will take a while. He also said that in a year he could do a small revision it’s “there’s too much skin”. Like you, I totally regret doing my surgery, I just had some sensibility and recurring balanitis, but nothing too serious, I could definitely live with it. But now there’s nothing I can do..z I will post and update in a few weeks once the skin has healed. Besides, you penis looks really good and you should not be afraid from having sex. We all have different shapes and sizes and particularities, that’s all right... nothing to be afraid of. Get a nice person and have fun, taking it easy, respecting your body and mind. It all gonna go fine, I’m sure of that.

Cheers!

After the initial procedure it was sensitive, but now it's fine. No issues from me.

It might take some time for the sensitivity to reside. What helped me some was the a cool pack I would used two to three times a day. I pretty much stayed in bed the whole time letting it just be exposed.

Rokyraj in reply to Johnny86

I will do same like you brother. Thank you so much. If i stay in bed and take rest more and stay my self naked and sleep then it will help me in killing sensitivity ?

Rokyraj in reply to Johnny86

I will do the same. Thank you for suggestion bro.

My scar line looks pretty similar and I'm curious why our scars are so raised? I'm not prone to keloids and my other scars on my body has healed completely flat so the only thing i can think of is that the doctor did a poor job of suturing the skin too tightly?

Johnny86 profile image
Johnny86 in reply to CuriousQ

With me, I think it was due to the trauma I had been the sutures opened (it was really gross). Now, it's healing quite better than expected. Just posted a couple of pictures of what it looks like now.
