Urinating After Circumcision

[PurpleCx]

I just got my circumcision last week but I have a concern about urinating. When I have to pee, I can feel the urine coming into my penis but once it gets to the end of it just before it comes out it feels blocked. It takes about 15 seconds of trying to pee until is finally does, but it starts as a really thin stream and feels uncomfortable because it feels like a blockage there. Eventually after like 15 seconds it does come out comfortable but it sprays in all directions.

On my meatus there has been yellow fluid that used to drip but just stays there dried now.

Is this a normal part of healing? Has anyone ever experienced this before? And why is this happening?

I have the same issue. You should get that checked out by my doctor. After a circ, our penis tends to swell up. The swelling is normal. It can constrict our flow so the stream is thin as a needle. Or sometimes it can even spray. Or both. You can even experience a burning sensation, I bet if you try to urinate too fast.

Over time however, the swelling decreases, and taking a leak becomes easier. One caveat, for different people, it takes differing amounts of time for the swelling to decrease. My urologist gave me catheter (thin tube) to loosen up the meatus(opening). Your doc might give you one. Keep in mind however that this is temporary. You eventually should not be using this to loosen up. It should naturally happen.

Now, you still need to run this by the doc, because you want clarity on what that yellow fluid it. Is it yellow of white, btw? The yellow can signal an infection somewhere, so your doc needs to look at it and possibly prescribe some med. The white signals smegma, which is normal.

Ok. Take care.

Idk about the yellow fluid part but everything else sounds normal. I went through that for a couple weeks when I got circumcised a couple months ago. I was spraying all over the place like a garden sprinkler.

The yellow stuff is gone now for me, but is it normal for the urine to feel blocked for a few seconds and then come out?

Yes.

Hey buddy feeling the same issue. Got circumcision recently. How much time it took for u to pee normally

Mine varied from a thin stream to a crazy spray at the start of the recovery process but was normal once the swelling reduced. I also had yellow goo which dried like scabs but that also disappeared as it’s all part of the healing process with the glans being exposed and the sensitivity reducing.

I got circumcised a few years ago and I had the exact same problem with urinating.

It didn’t come on until a few days after the surgery but it was identical to your situation.

I could feel it filling the penis but just before it came out it would stop.

I never asked the question in this group but I honestly think it just stopped happening after a few days and I just carried on as normal.

My situation might be different of course so if you’re worried, always ask the doctor
