13th day circumcision

I am in my 13th day since the operation I have a couple of questions, I keep getting these nocturnal erections, actually, every time I close my eyes and fall asleep, is getting very painful I think because of the stitches being pull, I am taking pain killers before go to sleep , try not to drink and sleep on the side, i am sleeping very little cause of the fear at this point

do you have any idea on how to alleviate the pain?

the second question is about smoking, I have been told by my urologist to stop smoking before the surgery cause can interfere on healing and also look at the recovery from surgery.

I was wondering how long after the op can you go back to smoke (cause the no masturbating little sleep and no smoking is driving me crazy xD eheheh)

thanks in advance

Sounds like a good reason to stop smoking, tbh!! Not what you want to hear, I appreciate, but why not at least try? At least your body will be grateful! Good luck!

WIthdrawal symptoms!! Have you smoked for a long time? I appreciate that it's very easy for me to say 'give it up' because I never have been a smoker, but if you can find it in you to do so, I doubt you'll ever regret it. I think that as for the nocturnal erections, they're something you just have to put up with, tbh and live through them. You can at least look forward to masturbating again in a couple of weeks time. You'll love it and the wait will have been well worth while!!

ehehe yeah, I think is gonna the pain is gonna get better once the stitches come off from the frenulum,i can't wait ( even though I think that I have to learn again )

in reply to Asciughino87

Ahh!! Did you have the frenulum removed as well? I've not experienced that but from what I've gleaned from others, that may take a little longer to heal. When you do manage to start, I'd recommend a good quality water-based lubricant to aid and enhance the experience and pleasure.

do you suggest to put a bandage or leave it free on the underwear?

in reply to Asciughino87

Once I was able to move about, I found that wearing tight underpants that kept my penis tight against my stomach worked well; they stopped any friction between my clothes and my super-sensitive glans. At night I bought a bed cradle, which is a small metal frame which keeps the bedclothes off the body, which allowed me to have decent sleeps (nocturnal erections not withstanding). 'Amazon' or 'ebay' will have them listed, if you live somewhere where those marketplaces operate. Also salt baths aid the healing process.
