r/circumcision

How is the result? Anxious, because it isn’t a norm in my culture and country.

Hello everyone! I'm on Day 17. Healing is going well generally. I've had no issues so far beyond some minor swelling still being around. I'm generally liking the results from the circumcision (got it for both cosmetic and medical reasons).

My question has to do with the glans coverage I get when I'm sitting a certain way. That's the first image, with me sitting straight. The second image is when I'm leaning back. Images 3, 4, and 5 are of swelling I still have, with it being really pronounced on the left side still. The right side (Image 5) has basically completely gone down.

Is the glans coverage I get when sitting a result of swelling? The first week had a lot of coverage from the swelling, even when standing, so my instinct tells me it's still that. But just curious what others think and what their experiences were.

Also, I am a grower if that factors into anything.

Thanks!

Así vamos en el día 10, la cicatrización va bien mejor de lo que pensaba. Estoy un poco más feliz con el aspecto de mi pene aunque no está como quiero aún han estado flácido se puede ver la hinchazón pero ya en estado erecto cuando todo se estira, se ve mucho mejor que antes se ve más limpio, puedo decir que soy un hombre un poco más feliz

Bonjour à tous,
Quand je vois, pas mal de personnes se remettre assez rapidement de tout cela, moi qui suis à 25 jours après ma circoncision, je vous mets quelques photos de mon avancée et où ça en est ce matin… encore de la fibrine, croûtes blanche sur le gland, les fils sont tous là, une boule sur le côté et un peu gonflé et inégal entre la peau et la base du gland… 😑 est-ce dans le chemin normal et c’est moi qui est une rémission plus lente que la normale? Est sa normale et il faudrait donner un coup de Boost, mais je ne sais pas comment car pour l’instant l’urologue est en vacances? Je me permets de vous demander quelques petits conseils et avis là-dessus… Merci d’avance à tous et bonne journée 💪

Hello all!

This is day 18 after OP

I'm starting to get worried now. The stitches are beggining to fall out, but some are still very hard and don't seem to be dissolving yet. Will these railroad tracks disappear over time?

I've bought kelo-cote gel and will start using once all of the stitches are gone. Do I need revision?

Excuse the pun.

First up I don’t want to cast any shade on those against circumcision or who decide to stay intact. I struggled with the decision for a long time and ultimately made the one that was right for me. If my story can help some other dudes make the right call for them - either way - well, I hope it does.

I grew up in a small town in Australia, most guys were uncut. From puberty I noticed there was something different about my dick and discovered I had phimosis (stage 4, depending on what scale you look at). No retraction whatsoever, ballooning when I piss, no regular infections but once or twice until I figured out how to clean properly. The only circ I knew of was Jewish guy and he used to get teased about it. Sexual/mental health was a taboo subject and never discussed, the odd occasion someone opened up to a mate everyone usually knew about it in a couple of days.

Growing up I saw two different GPs when I was 15 and 18, when I was old enough to go without my parents knowing. Both doctors didn’t seem like they wanted to help or take it seriously, they prescribed steroid cream without too much instruction or follow up and sent me on my way. I was too embarrassed to go back or ask for any more info, so applied it, saw no result, and resigned to the fact that I was different and it is what it is.

Through my 20s I was embarrassed for anyone to see what I was dealing with so hid from my friends any time we were naked - changing sheds, trips away, drunken antics. I heard of another guy our age getting cut and didn’t like the behind the back comments that followed about him. I was scared for any girls to laugh at it or spread rumours so never initiated any relationships, anyone that pursued me I pushed them away, and all sexual encounters were whilst incredibly drunk and unfulfilling, but I did develop a bit of a reputation of being hard to get into bed but worth it (which I quietly loved, despite not understanding). I tried stretching with Glansie but usually stretched too far and tore, then scarred tissue made it hard to get underway again.

Eventually found who I thought was the right person, got comfortable, got married, had kids, drifted apart, divorced, back to those feelings of late teens/early 20s and afraid of dating. 40 now.

Finally made the decision a few months ago and booked in for my circ. Current GP was incredible - talked through all the options, booked a specialist, and set me on a final course of steroid cream as a “just in case”. This time with the right instruction saw a slight improvement but got to a point and didn’t progress any further.

Meeting with Urologist was surreal - very relaxed, about 5 minutes, he took one look and laid out the plan. It was almost casual and put me at ease that I had made the right decision.

In yesterday for the op under general anaesthetic, supposedly took 20mins and went well however there was some adhesion at the bottom of the glands which will take longer to heal but overall Urologist was happy with the result and should make a full recovery.

Waking up today it really feels like a shitty chapter of my life has closed and a new one is beginning. I’ve had very minimal pain - comparable to or less than the infections mentioned earlier - and not currently on any painkillers. The head is very sensitive, first time it’s ever been exposed and intriguing to see, that’s the main discomfort but not too bad. Kind of like meeting my new best mate haha. Taking a piss for the first time like a “regular” guy was incredibly liberating.

Hi, everyone.

I would like to ask those who also did frenuloplasty + circumcision, how much did it take for you frenulum to look completely healed?
These photos (first and second one) are from day 16, but it looks pretty much the same today (17). It sometimes bleeds a little when I get hard while sleeping, but just a little bit. It looks far better than it did on the first week (last picture).

ask questions if you have any ?

ready to help..

I got circumcised back when I was only 10, now I'm 22, just wondering how it looks. Is it ugly or nahh?

Almost 3 weeks since having my cut and stitch circumcision. I think the healing process is looking okay? Should the dissolvable sutures fallen out by now? TIA.

Im very worried about my penis i had a revision 8 days ago due to sloppy work the first time now there seems to be a lump of tissue growing out from the side of my penis has anyone experienced this
