I am on my 4th week after circumcision.

I am still concerned about my size as it seems to have lost an inch.The erevtion also is not quite there,the pain has gone though.Need suggestions and how to loosen the scar skin.

Size definitely causes an issue.I was around 5.9 but it seems around 4.5 now.

I still struggle to see why removing skin makes the length of the erect penis smaller

if you were circumcised for phimosis, then it would make sense why you lost length; because if the foreskin is not retractable, then the skin at the base of the penis would be forced to expand in order to accommodate an erection with an un-retractable foreskin. The doctor would then remove the foreskin, but would likely think that the man had more foreskin than they actually had. The doctor would then remove all the foreskin and all the shaft skin, which would leave the man with pubic fat/base of penis tissue, which the doctor thought was shaft skin. It would completely depend on how tight the circumcision ended up being. Doctors are not thinking of this possibility. In addition removal of the frenulum could also cause a shortening of the penis as well because the frenulum forces the tissue forward whether there is enough tissue or not. Shaft skin starts where the hair baring skin ends. Doctors need to be more careful when doing circumcisions on individuals who have phimosis. They should only give them partial circumcisions because I have seen far to many men lose length because of this. The length may come back naturally, but you may have to do foreskin restoration techniques to obtain your original length back.

Notice in this photo, his frenulum was partially removed, so the tissue is no longer forced forward.

So what shall I do?? Is anything wrong with frenulum??

Part of it was removed. I would wait another 2 weeks to see if things improve. If not, then you can always look up foreskin restoration techniques to get your size back. You don’t have to go all the way. Just go until you get your size back, but be careful with your penis because it wen through a major trauma, so give it time before trying to stretch the tissue on your penis. Why were you circumcised?

Phimosis

makes sense. I am assuming you had a short frenulum as well? Don’t be surprised if you have tight erections. I used to have those regularly because my infant circumcision was to tight. Remember not to panic if this happens. You can always expand the skin to fix the problem. Have you tried masterbating yet? One thing to try, which helped me is taking 500 mg of vitamin C and 50 mg of zinc gluconate together. This helps get your erections back. I only found this out because when I took these 2 supplements together, I had very strong erections.

I have not tried masturbation.The erections are not strong nor is my skin getting fully stretched.The frenulum was fine.Even now i do not feel stretched or pain in my frenulum while erected.

Take vitamin C and zinc. I highly recommend these supplements. How often were you masterbating before circumcision? How old are you? Also how high up did your hairline go before circumcision?

Sunny666 in reply to At1012

I am 28 and masturbation was normally 4-5 times a week

To at1012 - May I ask if you are anti-circumcision? because it feels like you are demeaning the choice of picking it. I was circumcised because I had too much of it and NOT because it was tight, and I have lost a bit lenght altough I am still very early on. So if you do not have any medical knowledge that can confirm that it was because of tight foreskin, pressuring the penis out, then I am afraid what you are saying is false or not all the way through correct.

Circoncision doesnt affect the penis size 100%. You re dick just got traumatized by the operation and it s still swelling. It need time to recover... 2 month, 5month maybe 1 years. It s in the healinh phase. Give you penis time to recover and dont panick. If you search in google if the circoncision could affect the oe is size you will see that all the article say NO.

as you can see , it's just been a 1 month since he got circumcised and he already said that he lost length. We need more time to recover . Don't worry ;)! Our body it's more focus to heal the tissus than being hard like it used to be

I was just giving an example of someone who lost significant length to show both of you that it can happen as a result of circumcision.

Your penis looks great. I wouldn't care too much. See it this way. .

You got cut for the benefits. You are benefitting now.

You'll still enjoy sex and your partners will enjoy it too. Non of that changes.

So love your dick, love yourself and live and let live without getting hung up on some slight appearance changes since circumcision.

He he. Enjoy!

Thanks buddy..i agree and I am happy with it but the size issue is something that always gives a negative push somewhere inbtha back of my mind.Loosing 1.5 inches is quite a loss

Jnt131 in reply to Sunny666

Are you in a relationship? Does he or she care? Hopefully not. They'll love you regardless

Looking at the picture the frenulum and both sides of it are quite swollen.

Keep your penis upright as much as possible (snug silk briefs).

4 weeks is a bit soon to expect everything to be perfect.

Your size will return in time with use and the more the better.

Stop worrying. All worry will do is prolong the recovery that much more.

Relax, it will all work out in time (some sooner than others).

By the way, I'm not a doctor.
