Two years post circumcision

Hey! I got cut almost two years ago, and I have to say that this forum helped me a lot in the process (and I really mean it).

If anyone has any questions about the procedure, don’t hesitate to ask me, I’m more than happy to help!

I used to suffer from phimosis so I don’t regret having this procedure done

DISCLAIMER: I’m no expert! I’m just trying to help from my experience

Hey man :) I had the exact same situation as you. I struggled with phimosis from a young age and didn't realize the severity of it until a year ago. I had the surgery done at the beginning of December and I honestly feel so much better.

I just had one concern though :( Let's be honest, we all care about the size of our penises and I actually used to take a lot of pride in my size. The thing that is bothering me is that I still haven't returned back to my regular size even though I had my surgery done 4 months ago. I'm still roughly an inch smaller than I was prior to the surgery. Many people on here said that size should return back to normal within a few weeks but it has been well over that for me.

I was just hoping you could share you experience in that sense because I feel a little insecure lol.

Just wanted to add another thing haha, my scar visually looks like it has healed but the skin is still very hard. When I pinch it, the scar tissue is more firm and "thick" compared to the rest of the skin on my shaft. I feel no pain or discomfort when erect or flaccid but the scar tissue is still quite hard, even 4 months post-op.

Hey man! Maybe the size difference has to do with the fact that you used to measure your dick using the extra length that the foreskin added?

My scar softened up over time, it took quite a while so don’t worry! Give it time. My cock used to swell up after sex or jerking off, this happened even a year after the procedure. Now everything is back to normal. In my personal opinion, circumcisions recovery process is a really long one man

brownboypp in reply tomnt1997

Ayy appreciate the response man! As for measuring length, I know for a fact, I excluded the extra length the foreskin added because I would measure from the base to the peak of the tip. My recovery is definitely taking some time but its nice to know that other people share a similar experience. Cheers brotha!

No problem man! I was shitless scared as well lmao. Just wait, recovery is so gradual, you’ll be 100% healed soon and you won’t even notice.

I’m obviously not an expert but I went through the same process

I had a similar experience - something of a hard scar line that took quite a while to release. Mine took several months, but at some point it did release and I got back to normal length.

Hey man :) Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it!

Could you just explain a bit more in detail what you mean when you said that, "it took a quite while to release"?

Hey I got my circumcision done 6 weeks ago also because of phimosis. My wound has healed pretty well but I’ve still got some swelling/bumps around the scar line that doesn’t seem to be going away. I was wondering if you could remember how long it took for all of your swelling to go down? I also still have some uncomfortable sensitivity on the glands when anything rubs against it. Do you remember how long it was before this was no longer an issue?

mnt1997 in reply toLA1233

Hey man! Don’t worry, just give it time.

Swelling took forever to subside in my case. My dick would swell up like crazy after sex or jerking off. I was fucking scared but it completely went away a year later (it was gradual, I didn’t even notice when it stopped).

Regarding the sensitivity, I’d say a year too, even though I stopped feeling uncomfortable by my penis rubbing u

In my underwear 6 most post op approx. what really took a year was not feeling unbearable sensations in my when jerking off or fucking. A few months post op even jerking off with lube was uncomfortable, now it’s my favorite way of doing it.

I’m more than happy to answer lol I was just as inquisitive when I got this shit done

I my 37 days now. Tight scarline around . Is that normal? How to make lose?

Same experience here, this forum has really helped me heal, I’m now on 8 months post my operation and I feel great, but honestly I do kiss my foreskin for wanking, it made masturbation feel amazing, however I had to always roll it back during sex to uncover the head of my cock, and it also would cover my tip inside a condom and I would lose the pleasure. Now I’m having a happier and very exciting sex life, loving every moment of it and how it looks now when all erect and glossy!🔥🔥🔥

Thanks everyone for helping people like us🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Hi, I’ve got the job done 4 months ago and still swallen in frenlum, did you have that ?

MrKenny profile image
MrKenny in reply toFlip40

Frenulum took the longest to heal for me. Give it some more time and everything will be fine.

I had my op almost three weeks ago, how long did you wait until you jerk off for the first time after your op. I still have a good few stitches in at the moment.

mnt1997 in reply toWill3333333333339

Around 3-4 weeks! I did it very carefully the first time, then I waited another extra two weeks just to be sure

How long did it take for the hypersensitive to subside and the keratinaztion process. I got the opt in November last year and 4 months plus later I am still having the hypersensitive issue though it has somehow subside. I've exposed it to air every night while sleeping and exposed to clothing almost daily. The process is taking long time

mnt1997 profile image
mnt1997 in reply toArnoldHooi

It took months! Don’t worry. I remember feeling a lot of discomfort by walking around and having the head rubbing against my boxers. This lasted for months!

ArnoldHooi in reply tomnt1997

Thanks man, appreciate the assurance.

ArnoldHooi in reply tomnt1997

It feels like ant bite from time to time. Wearing microfiber underwear but still can get the uncomfortable sensation whenever friction. Friction happens a lot.

ArnoldHooi profile image
ArnoldHooi in reply tomnt1997

Just wonder how would we know if the sensation has reduced?

I'm almost at 6 weeks, swelling and sensitivity have gone down alot from the first few weeks. My main issue is now, when I walk I get alot of discomfort and friction pain around the base of the head and the frenulum. The scarring there is bumpy and hard so I wondered if that pain and discomfort goes when the scarring softens?

mnt1997 profile image
mnt1997 in reply toB1992

Yess it will go away! Mine took months, just give it time

B1992 in reply tomnt1997

Thanks man, did you use any ointment or anything to speed it up or do I have to rely on that naughty little minx mother time working her magic?

mnt1997 profile image
mnt1997 in reply toB1992

Nothing! Just give it time man. I’m no expert tho, I’m just speaking from my own personal experience 👌🏽

How is masturbation and sex after circumcision is it better than uncircumcised.? Also I'm 4 weeks circumcised how long till sensitivity goes down im wearing gauze loosely but wanna stop doing so soon I feel uncomfortable when the scarline touches my thigh as it causes discomfort. Erection feel tight and sometimes discomfort and painful.How long do you think it will take to go back to normal.also how do you cope with exercise running gym etc?

For me way way worse. Both masturbation and sex.

Fallen13 profile image
Fallen13 in reply toCuriousQ

My surgeon has 40years experience. I hope my masturbation doesn't get to bad. Tbh I can't change it anyway whats done is done.

Ipsquint47 in reply toFallen13

It doesn’t matter that your surgeon has 40 years experience if he is removing tissue with thousands of nerve endings and your glans dries up and cauterises you will loose a lot of sensation.

Fallen13 profile image
Fallen13 in reply toIpsquint47

I was replying to curiousQ about a skilled surgeon. Ik the sensitivity will reduce but its better than having a lot of problems like UTI etc in future.

Hey man...Im going to get circumcised...I'm worried about sensitivity (numb penis)I luv my sensitivity..I don't like numb glan..how much sensitivity u lose??

CuriousQ profile image
CuriousQ in reply toAlex2002

I lost around 60-70 percent. Don't have it done unless you've got to. And find a highly skilled surgeon.

I had another slight concern regarding my erections post-op. I don't why but they feel much weaker than they did prior to my surgery. Is it just my penis acclimating to the changes or is it because of the hard scar line? Have you experienced anything like that?
