3weeks post Circumcision

[Ed84]

Hi folks, looking for some advice. I was circumcised about 3 weeks ago as I had a condition called BXO. I seem to be healing well, I’ve noticed that I’ve got a prominent vein or lumpy bit just under the head, which never used to be there . Has anyone else had this after being Circumcised? Appreciate your thoughts.

I also got this one but it’s bit painful nor it change anything and it’s less clear when perfectly erect

Hi Man, for only 3 weeks you have healed very well I think you had the glue for closing your wound it gives a very good result. I think the Mark you have around your glans is a little bit of swelling it should go away after time you could try using some Bio-Oil, massage it in to try and reduce the swelling. There seems to be no sign of your BXO or LS how long did you have the condition for? and how does your frenulum look did you have it removed is it healing up ok ?

[Ed84 in reply to MrMac99]

Hiya, thanks for the reply. Had the bxo for about 1 year. The was a tight white scar going all round my foreskin making it tight and painful to retract. The frenulum was also pretty scared so the doctor removed it completely. You’re right it was done with glue.

[MrMac99 in reply to Ed84]

How are you finding it now has your glans desensitized. did you try the steroid creams for a while I think it can help but in the long term it's best to have the circumcision before it spreads too much. everything looks very good I'm sure you will be very happy now that you are sorted.

[Ed84 in reply to MrMac99]

I didn’t try the steroid creams as the dr thought it was to far gone to heal it. He said it might stop it getting worse but not improve it. There are also a few sign that the bxo is on the glans, dr suggested this might clear up, otherwise steroid cream will be needed.

Glans are ok, I’m finding the bit around the ridge of them/inner foreskin a bit sensitive and itchy. But hopefully this will settle down.

[MrMac99 in reply to Ed84]

Your doctor has a good understanding of the condition they are right that the steroid cream would not cure the bxo. at best it might have stopped it from getting worse. now that your glans are exposed the signs of the bxo on it should clear up. I had some marks as well especially where my frenulum was attached to my glans it cleared up once it was exposed. When you are flaccid do you have any skin bunching up behind your glans I'm not sure if you are cut high or low maybe it's in between.

[Ed84 in reply to MrMac99]

That’s good that you’d cleared up on its own, hopefully mine will too. Yeah there is definitely skin bunching up when flaccid. Think the cuts in between. I guess the position of the cut was dictated by where the scaring was.

Nice circumcision. Beautifully exposed glans. Your surgeon did an excellent job of removing your foreskin.

Cheers, thanks

Looks amazing for 3 weeks healing! Give it at least 6 weeks to really normalize - sometimes swelling really takes closer to 3 months to really resolve.

[Ed84 in reply to xhardwarex]

Ok, thanks

Hi Ed ! Just curious about the picture. That, in this photo , are you holding the shaft skin backward with your hand ?

Or, is this the normal condition ?

[Ed84 in reply to Blue_ace]

Maybe a little bit, but not much, why do you ask?

[Blue_ace in reply to Ed84]

It is because, my circ looks same as yours, but for this similarity, I have to pull back the skin. If I leave it on its own, the skin bunch up near glans.

My doc left too much skin.

[Ed84 in reply to Blue_ace]

I see what you mean. When I’m flaccid it’s bunched up or hanging over my glans a bit, but still a bit swollen so hard to know for sure.

[Blue_ace in reply to Ed84]

I think that we both are having a loose cut.

But, if we are a surgeon, its difficult for me also, to ensure its neither a loose nor an over tight cut. Because when they do operate, dick is in flaccid state.

But still, I am looking forward for an appointment for a review.

Seeing uroligist in a few weeks as I have phimosis/ maybe LS! You’ve healed amazingly compared to others! One thing putting me off getting cut is some of the really slow healing stories on this site! But if I could heal like yours I’d have mine cut tomorrow 👌🏽 Congrats looks perfect! Where did you get cut if you’re in the U.K.?

[Ed84 in reply to Turkey4xmas]

Yeah I know it’s a big decision, I guess you often hear about the bad/ problematic cases on line.

I’m in the Uk, although I was all lined up to have it done on the nhs, for various reasons I decided to have the opp done private at the London Circumcision center by dr Khan. It was expensive I think around £700, but I was prepared to pay as I felt I was in the best hands rather than it being out of my control by someone who reputation I don’t know.

I have a self employed manual job, so being able to book the opp just before the christmas holiday suited me well too.

[Turkey4xmas in reply to Ed84]

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a reply! Someone else has just recommended the same dr 👍🏼

[Ed84 in reply to Turkey4xmas]

No worries. If you’ve any other questions feel free to message me.

I’d say that’s about the best looking 3 week post circ I’ve seen here, compared to the swelling, discharge, discoloration others post here. Where did you have it done, for what reason if I may ask, what method was used and I know it’s only 3 weeks how is the sensitivity? If you’ve been covered all your life I’m sure it’s kinda intense now.

[Ed84 in reply to Uncutdad]

Hiya. Yeah it was a good result. It’s been a year now and it just feels “normal” now no complaints. I got it done by dr Khan on London. It was for medical reasons.

[Moondog432]

Your circumcision looks great! After one year do you feel that everything has healed 100%? I’m on month 6 and still have discomfort around the frenulum area after I masturbate.

[Ed84 in reply to Moondog432]

Yeah. I do. Maybe 99%

[michael13_74a]

Hi Ed, can you send some picture before the circumcision -> I have similiar problem with BXO but I am not sure if I should have circumcision.

[Ed84 in reply to michael13_74a]

Hiya. Check out a post I did called ‘the healing process’ that has a bxo photo on it.

[UncutBoy in reply to Ed84]

Hey Ed how’s it going? We spoke on here a while ago
