hey ppl, i came on A2A a few months ago after finding out i had phimosis and to gather info on the cures for it.The high percent of the ppl all recomended stretchin, creams and even a few the Glansie tool.
I done the stretchs for around 2months, then i purcahsed the glansie which i used for another 2months then finally i spent a month using the glansie and using creams. However despite stretchin for adleast an hour a day, which got stressful at times, i really didnt make no progress.
So i then made the decision to have a circ, and i had great support from Kopite1979 aka kirky lol. Since i made decision 2av it done fair play to him he has helped me the whole way with information on every little aspect. Anyway i had it done yesterday, went into surgery at 2, by half 3 i was having tea, toast and a chat wit the doctor and i had no pain. I left at 5ish, and had no pain or trouble walking, and also passing urine was also not painfull. Felt extremly good to b honest to see my head for the first time. Well today, so not even 24hours after operation apart from the feeling that iv got dressin and bandages down there i cant feel a thing, no pain or discomfort. I did experiance a small bit of pain with an errection in morning but it past after a minute. Anyway il keep u posted like, because i no i found it extremly helpfull when sumone who had had it done explained thre progess and stuff each day.Also there is from wat i can see a bit of swelling, but it hasnt gone blue or nothin-stil very pale skined like normal.
If there are people reading this who are considering a circumcision do contact me if u want because i to was extremly nervous after reading alot of horror stoires about how painfull it was and stuff. Only after talking to Kopite1979 who had actualy had it done, i was feeling alot better, alot of people seem to dis circumcision and they havnt had it. Anyway il keep ya posted on the progress, peace ppl :grin:

Circumcision Yesterday
-
i'll reply even though i know everything lolwell done tom and welcome to the circ mens club , your now a member haha
-
Glad all went well, Kevs a great guy
-
congratulations on becoming circumcised. I had it done just a year ago due to phimosis and I'm very satisfied with the result. One thing. Don't be depressed if it looks ugly and swollen and bruised at first. That will go away pretty fast.
-
congratulations on becoming circumcised. LOL Pop the champagne willy
-
yea cheers ppl :-d, i had the dressin removed today and it all seems fine down there, no real swelling or brusing and hopefuly afta a nice soak in bath 2moz it will look better again. Do any of u other people who have been circed get a large like feelin alot of the ppl on A2A are against it?cus apart from dear kirky above no one else iv talked to like said its worth it and its not that bad. Most ppl, who im sure have never had it done, said its terrible, painfull, looks bad and stuff and well so far im my experiance its been fine like. Seems a common misconception that its something terrible that u should only resort to if nothin else works. cheers ppl
-
Many are against it being done to babies without consent and those who are pushed into it without being informed. If you have phimosis or just plain want it done, then no one has a problem with it.
-
there are about 3 frequent posters here who are very extreme in their opposition to circumcision and very misinformed about what the experience and effect of circumcision is. I'm very glad you had so little swelling, etc. that means your recovery should be fast. I was pretty badly bruised for about a week, I think from where they put the local anesthetic in. I guess you had general?willy
-
yea dude i had general, i think they also put a bit of local in aswell so afterwards i would feel no pain. U got any tips on recovery then mate?il b bathin wit a salted bath is it, seems the most common like.
-
I completely agree with what sdp says.
I'm not sure who is misinformed around here. You had a big problem with phimosis, you were circumcised, and now you're happy. That's just fine. The problem is that there are people who are getting circumcised for no known medical reason, and without their informed consent, namely, normal male children.
There actually is evidence that if you don't need a circumcision, that there are good reasons not to have one. The reasons have been listed over and over, but you just blow them off. So the cycle repeats over and over, with you, the voice of circumcision, periodically saying how wonderful it is (implying that it's wonderful for everyone), and round and round we go.
I agree with what sdp said.

Yea ok but SteveA i havnt posted to tell people how wonderfull and stuff it is. I posted because im sure you are aware there are hundreds upon hundreds of posts on this site about young and old males asking and showing concern over the idea of circumcision, and there are people on here who do make it out asif your going to be in ablot of pain and stuff. If someone has bad phimosis, like i did, or another problem which required circumcision we dont need people saying how bad it is and stuff, that will just further put people off having it done. People require reassurance that if the worst comes to wosrt and they require surgery it isnt that bad. Im not posting to get a crusade of people to have a circumcision, but reassure a selection of people who maybe feeling scared about it, because i no i was, that it isnt as bad as some people make it out. Also if people wish to get circumcised who dont have any problems that is there choice, i wasnt targeting those people with my post. Also i no there are reasons not to have it done but there are also reasons why people want it done so it works both ways mate.
-
good on you tommo if any guys are worried about circumcision or pondering with the idea then its best to speak with someone like me , tommo and willy who have been through it , rather than guys who haven't
-
All well and good, but I was responding to willy7187.
-
OK! On the otherside of the coin, I didn't want to be
circumcised so I went through a restoration process and
had the touch up surgery to make the closer on June 14th,
everything is fine and works like normal. Does that count
for something? -
and there are people on here who do make it out asif your going to be in alot of pain and stuff. You'd have to point out the threads. I doubt any non-circumcised guy made those claims. How could they?Not everyone has the same experience though. Someone might have had a lot of pain and problems. You had a good experience.
-
I have a circ coming up. willy7187 of these boards actually talked to me, shared his experience, and got me into it.Sounds good, tommo. i'm just waiting for the big day.
-
good man mahz , if you want any help i'm on msn if you need me , i helped tommo
-
indeed kirk did, or Kopite1979, he was without doubt the person who gave me most support and reasurance about it. mahz r u aving it done because of a problem like phimosis aswell?just removed last bit of dressin on stichs, looks all ok . And sdp there are many people on here to havent been circed but says its bad, but it would take ages to look through each post and pick out each user against it.
-
yeah i have spoken to about 8 guys now who have had circ and none of them said they felt pain , and i didnt when had mine
-
who've been circ You mean haven't, right?
