It is a procedure I must go through soon. I have been on the waiting list for 18 months, so I guess my time is nigh. I am worried about what it will feel like afterwards.Can I walk home after the op? Or would someone have to pick me up? I had to cancel last time because I didn't have anyone to pick me up (still don't).

Do circumcisions hurt?
-
Yeah sounds like its gonna hurt im lucky i got mine done when i was 3 or so because id probably pass out after it got done just thinking about someone with a knife on my penis
-
In short yes. I had mine done about two years ago and after my operation I had some discomfort. However, they prescribe you plenty painkillers and you can manage the pain very well with them.
You cannot walk home after it as you may even find walking difficult/awkward and you will have been under general anaesthetic so you must be watched at home for upto 24 hours afterwards incase you have a reaction to the anaesthetic.
They say no sexual activity (includes masturbation) until 6 weeks after the operation and believe me you won't want to have any sexual activity for a while!
It's all be okay though - get your lift back sorted out and it will be fine. Plus check the foreskin forum on here for more info!

how far do you need to walk. i walked a couple blocks right after my circumcision and it was ok but longer might start bleeding. I didn't have hardly any pain just a weird feeling.
-
Did the doctor actually tell you that it was OK to do that, or did you just do it without telling him?If they used any kind of sedation, they won't let you out unless you have someone to bring you home.Also, going by individuals' experiences is not very useful. It could be painful for some and not painful for others, but that might not have much bearing on how the OP will feel. He'd be far better off checking with his urologist's office.
-
what happened was my cousin was picking me up and he ended up parking that far away cause he went to the wrong place. I didnt have any sedation so I dont know about that.
-
The problem with me is that I have no-one to take me home afterwards. I'm hardly going to ask my mum to do it.
Looks like I'll have to cancel AGAIN.
-
Huh? Why? What's wrong with your mom?How about a taxi? (Although the might want someone to bring you out from the office, so they might not be too keen on that idea.)
-
Why would I want to tell my mum that I've just had my penis mutilated?
-
Why would you need to keep it a secret? Most parents know that their circumcised sons are circumcised. If I were your mom, I wouldn't be too happy with your attitude.Are you getting circumcised for a good medical reason?
-
I know it might be difficult to tell her, but you really need to let her know - especially if you live with her! As she will need to monitor you after your operation.
It'll help with not only transport to and from, but it will be a help morally - she can help with chatting things through, etc, etc and can help with pain prevention afterwards too.
I told my Mum all about it before I had my operation - she was great. It's what they're there for :laughing:
-
I would be getting circumcised because of pinhole phimosis! And I'm 24 years old! See the problem?
-
And I'm 24 years old! See the problem?Yes, and it lies within your head. At 24, unless your mom is a nut job, it shouldn't be that big a deal for your mom to know that you are getting a medically-necessary procedure, even if it involves your penis.Would you be mortified to find out that your mom had to undergo a medical procedure involving a "naughty" area of her body?You are both presumably adults.
-
So what? I got circumcised for exactly the same reason when I was 17.
You mum will love you no matter what.
Have you not got a friend that will help?
-
I know it seems embarassing to have your parents know. I felt that waytoo but they found out and that was better than trying to keep a secret. they just wanted to know if I was ok/
-
dude i am goin into 9th grade now but i had the exact procedure done to me when i was in 7th grade ..... the first day after u jus sleep but afterward u basically gotta stay in bed naked cuz ur boxers or wuteva will get cought on the sitches or bandages but u will get over it cuz i did but hey its a procedure that makes ur penis bigger basically lol so good luck :smile:
-
At the age you had it done, flamingsol, you may have been just about to have your puberty growth spurt.
-
from what i've heard, it's hurts more then anything else. When we're babies, we'll never really remember, but at this age, it's going to kill. Think of all the nerve endings they're just slicing off. I don't know why anyone would do something like that, at any age.
-
Wouldn't they use local anaesthetic, at least in a "modern" country?
-
Did you get a second opinion? Some doctors just love to circumcise for no reason; in your case I would get a second openion on how to correct the situation. Phimosis can be cured by stretching and a doctor to prescribe BETAMETHASONE 0.1% or 0.5% Ointment; then put a little around the tight part only and commence manual stretching. Only get the circumcision if all fails. Good Luck!
