M21, here are my news, finally I got the surgery done.

Surgeon said the meatus was now at the tip. Also got the circumcision done at same time.

Now, I just have to wait the time needed with the suprapubic catheter. And in some weeks I'll know if it worked well.

I'm very happy now. Don't have unbearable pain. So everything is nice.

Hey everyone,

M21 here. I’m scheduled for surgery on 26th June, and I will have a circumcision performed under general anesthesia as part of a combined procedure (with a urethral/glans repair). No grafts needed either from foreskin or buccal mucosa from what my surgeon told me. I'll also need a suprapubic catheter for 10-15 days.

This is my first surgery in this area, so I’m mainly looking to understand real recovery experiences after adult circumcision :

How was the pain in the first days after circumcision?

How long did swelling, tightness, and sensitivity last?

How did it affect daily life (walking, sleeping, hygiene)?

When did it start feeling “normal” again?

How was the final aesthetic result once fully healed?

Any complications (infection, healing issues, tight scars), and how did you notice them early?**

If you also had a catheter (urethral or suprapubic) during recovery:

How was it to deal with it alongside healing from circumcision?

Did it affect comfort, movement, or sleep significantly?

Did it make recovery easier or more complicated overall?

Thanks a lot to anyone willing to share their experience.

Hey everyone, M21, thanks for being so present everytime I feel the need to post anything related to my case.

I finally got the date for my upcoming surgery to repair the meatus and the glans.

So it will be done under general anesthesia, normally without needing any graft tissues, a circumcision will be done at the same time, and I'll need a suprapubic catheter for about 10-15 days.

I got a cystoscopy yesterday, and everything on the inside part is ok. The surgery will only be on the urethra part external, between frenulum and meatus tip. Surgeon wrote it's looking as a hypospadic urethra on the first centimeters.

Even if every case is different, I would like to listen about yours repairs, either urethral reconstruction or hypospadias repair.

How was your recovery ?

How was it living with a suprapubic catheter (pain, spasms, mobility, sleep, daily life)?

Did the catheter make recovery easier or more uncomfortable overall?

How was urination after catheter removal (stream, burning, control)?

Any issues with swelling, tightness, or wound healing?

How is the functional outcome ? And the esthetic one ? Is the scar noticeable ? Is the meatus close to the tip off glans ?

How long after were you able to have sex

Any complications you had ? How to see it (fístula mostly or reopening) ?

Thanks !
