Sore frenulum 3 weeks after circumcision

[VERYAverageJoe]

Hi, all. I was circumcised three weeks ago, and my frenulum feels tight/sore. How long does that last? Is it a matter of it stretching over time now that I'm circumcised?

A circumcision takes 6-8 weeks to fully heal. The frenulum area can take a little longer. Don't try to rush things: let nature take its course.

The frenulum cannot be permanently stretched as it is elastic material and will automatically return to its natural size after stretching, just like an elastic band does.

I assume the Dr left part of frenulum. Medically I needed total frenulum removal. It should stretch fine. Some circumcisions have total removal of frenulum, sometimes a bit is left. As long as you are happy and pain free- that’s all that matters
