Had it done

---

Hi thought i'd create a new thread

i had my circumcision done yesterday 6pm UK time , i was waiting for 6hrs in my waiting room watching tv in that time , was knocked out for my operation which i was pleased about , got home at 9pm.

took the banage off this morning looks swollen and leaked a bit of blood last night , the swelling nr the frenulum in quite bad doesnt hurt much just looks swollen is that normal and how long will it take to go down?

going to have a bath later on today as the nurse told me to .

overall not in to much discomfort really which is a very pleasent surprise i was expecting bad pains.

so any words on my swelling would be great and any other tips or answers you would like to give would be brilliant

am 26yrs old by the way

thanks for reading

in my experience with operations, it always takes longer to heal than the doctors say...Swelling will most likely go down soon, but you prolly wont find ur dick being exactly normal for a while, maybe a month or so, not sure....

WTF have u done?!!? :angry:

ok thanks for reply

I dont know about al that but Ill tll you this.I had a vasectomy last october.shuld of taken about 2 to 3 days to heal completely or so I was told.kept my sack packed in ice all of that.he perscribed some pills for me for pain and I was allergic to them, I had those the week before my surgery so I didnt have to stop anyplace after my nuts got cut. I figured my brother was giving mea ride to and from and so I would stop and get new pills on the way home and told him about it before my surgery and he gave me a new perscription that I could take. The new ones only controlled pain not inflamation. My nuts hurt for 2 fucking weeks ands swollen and blakc and blue.fffthe lesson here is to USE A ANTI INFLAMATORY.dont worry about pain as much as swelling. once it occured to me that I was not better and it had been too long and that the sweing was huge, I started taking some and with in 2 days I was walking with out pain and with in a week I was back to being able to function normally and even played a little basketball with my son with out any real pain.watch the swelling and take something that controls it rather then just a pill for pain.

Congratulations. Don't worry about how it looks for the next few weeks, In a month it should look great. I was circumcised almost a year ago. I have no drawbacks and a lot of advantages to being cut.

had it done a year ago?hold old were you then ? had sex ? before the operation? after ?what advantages ?so uch to discuss here about circ or not to circ.care to Elaborate ?

the support from you people have been amazing your fantastic thanks a lot

my penis does look very ugly yes upto now , how long will it take for the swelling to go down?

not in any pain really its mainly just irritating as i walk with the stitches etc and the head showing which is weird

thanks again

As with virtually any surgical intervention there will be bruising, swelling and throbbing of the area.This is due to the blood vessels expanding during the healing process. Try to avoid standing around for too long as this may increase the swelling of your penis. You might find that some Savlon or Boots Antiseptic cream applied to the glans will soothe the discomfort. Be prepared for the surface of the glans to become thickened and eventually less sensitive as it is no longer protected by the foreskin.

nice one, i had the dorsal slit a few months ago so i know its quite depressing to see your penis straight after an operation, but dont be at all alarmed it it will heal as good as new and it shouldnt take that long. If its difficult to touch maybe try an antiseptic liquid like savlon to mix in with the bath water at some point to help with the cleaning. just relax keep your mind off it and enjoy the blackburn game on sunday

thanks alan for reply , will salt in water do any good?also hoping for 3pts sunday , although am happy with champions league spot now , would love fa cup

A brief soak in slightly salt water might be helpful to reduce some of the swelling, but the Savlon will probably be the best way. Gentle drying after a shower/bath so that you do not disrupt the healing areas is advisable.

cheers alan will do that

Congrats Kopite! I wish could have the courage to tell my parents that I want to be circumsized.

i was nervous as hell , but come through it and hope i heal fast

straightdude why would you want to do that??? There's nothing wrong with being uncut.

hi , another questionits my stitches , how long does it take for them to disolve?been a week now and there still in ... only 1 has disolved

The absorbable sutures will probably be gone in another 4-5 days but there might be some thickening of the tissues at the suture site which will take a few more weeks to subside completely. Nature is very good at taking care of things, so don't be impatient!

thanks alan much appreciated was a little worried
