The sensitivity is too great that I cannot leave the house because I can't put on some briefs / underwear or pants. I have a small penis which means that I can't really push my penis upwards when wearing briefs. So the head is horizontal when i stand up and it hits the briefs.
Based on everything I've read on the internet, it sounds like most people get over this in 2-3 weeks (I'm referring to glans sensitivity), but I'm not sure why my glans is so sensitive even at the 3 week point post circumcision!
I know this will get better with time, and my doctor says that. But I really need to get back to work.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I do feel quite depressed about this scenario as I have been alone at home for the last 3 weeks. When my wife is back from work, it's great but I feel depressed because I can't take her out and be a good husband.
I dont' want any answers questioning the circumcision as it is a done deal and I had to do it because all other techniques did not work.
Thanks.

The only thing I can think of would be to try a jock strap with a cup.
I never had one so I don't know for sure but I think the cup covers the penis too, not just the balls.
The only caveat would be that the more you cover it the longer it will take to desensitize it.
After it's healed enough, you could try cleaning it with rubbing alcohol before putting your underpants on. That will get rid of all the stickiness so the head doesn't get dragged unmercifully by your clothing but it's still in contact with the clothing to help in the desensitizing.
Good luck, hope this helps.

So, can we consider this as a circumcision complications that are really common? Because I have the same feeling and it seems to me that 10 days after this procedure I can't wear anything. Everything bothers me. I can't say that I am in pain or something like this, I just feel something that I can't describe. I am uncomfortable. Also, I am too coward maybe, but I would never EVER rub alcohol. I think that I would die before doing this. So, if you have any other advice, I would be happy to know more about this. Tnx in advance.

Rubbing alcohol??? , I would NOT recommend it. That stuff BURNS!!! But the jock strap suggestion is terrific!

Did you ever try it?
It's an interesting feeling and I like it.
At first it feels cold, then it feels hot, then it tingles.

Hi Desperate:
There are a very few valid reasons for circumcision. It is possible that you had one.
One of many functions of the foreskin is to protect the head of the penis. Now that you have voluntarily sacrificed that protection, you are paying the price.
It takes about six weeks to recover from a circumcision, but you never go back to normal.
You might try rolling a condom on over the head when you have to go outdoors. You can cut off the tip so you can pee without removing the condom.

Foreskin restoration was known in ancient times and is mentioned in the Bible. The process was carried out in Biblical times by Jews who wanted to look like Greeks. It is mentioned in the Bible. The process was lost but rediscovered about 1970 by men who objected to having been circumcised without their consent. Many still do not know that foreskins can be restored.
The decision to restore one's foreskin is a personal decision. It depends on how strong one’s feelings are about one’s unwanted non-voluntary circumcision, because foreskin restoration by tissue expansion is somewhat slow. Some men think it is worthwhile to restore and others don't think so. The process is slow and not for everyone. One must feel strongly about the desire to have a foreskin
Surgical foreskin restoration has been tried but does not give good results. Moreover, some men have had very serious complications from surgical foreskin restoration. The favored method is non-surgical foreskin restoration.
Non-surgical foreskin restoration can only proceed as fast as skin can grow. The human foreskin is a double layer of skin so two inches of skin must be grown to have one inch of visible foreskin. Many circumcised men do not fully understand how much tissue was amputated and how severely they were injured by circumcision
Some believe that foreskin restoration goes much faster when one is young because there is more growth hormone in the body. The stretching causes tissue expansion and permanent growth of the length of your foreskin.
One does well to start young when there is more growth hormone in the body, because the skin probably grows faster and you will have more years to enjoy your new foreskin.
Nonsurgical foreskin restoration works by "tissue expansion". When traction is applied to skin to keep it under tension, the skin reacts by expanding to relieve the tension. New skin cells are formed and the skin under tension expands. This is a permanent increase. Cells divide to create two skin cells out of one. The process is called "mitosis". The time taken for cells to divide limits the speed of foreskin restoration.
For foreskin restoration the shaft skin is placed under longitudinal tension or traction, which causes it to expand so as to make it longer. Traction is applied to the residual skin to put it under tension. The skin reacts to relieve the tension by mitosis and tissue expansion. In tissue expansion, mitosis (cell-splitting) increases the size of the skin and permanent increase in length occurs.
As the shaft skin gets longer, one starts to see little wrinkles in the skin. As elongation continues, skin will start to pile up in the coronal sulcus. Then, with increasing length, the shaft skin will start to lap over the head in a little fold. This is the start of the new foreskin. Since a double layer is needed, quite a lot of skin must be created.
Continued stretching and skin expansion will eventually cover the head of the penis with foreskin. Over the longer term, it is possible to create a foreskin that is long enough to cover the erect penis.
Foreskin restoration improves appearance. As the foreskin lengthens, the scar from the circumcision is covered over and disappears. The result is a very natural appearing foreskin that is very difficult to distinguish from a natural foreskin.
The procedure does not use drugs or surgery and the medical profession is not involved in any way. Non-surgical foreskin restoration is very safe and painless.
The restored foreskin keeps the glans penis moist and sensitive. The layer of keratin on the glans of the circumcised penis sloughs off after a period of constant coverage by the restored foreskin. The surface becomes softer to the touch.
Foreskin restoration cannot restore the frenulum, nor can it restore the heavily innervated ridged band, however, a restored foreskin does have sensation. Morever, the increased skin mobility allows better stimulation of the remaining nerves.
Non-surgical foreskin restoration has beneficial sexual and emotional effects.
Foreskinned males who have short, inadequate foreskins may use the same techniques to lengthen their existing foreskin.
There are now several good devices on the market to make foreskin restoration go faster.
Search the Internet for "foreskin restoration" for more information.

I am in exactly the same boat as you right now. I also had severe Phimosis, and had my operation two weeks ago. The newly exposed head is extremely sensitive, and I haven't been able to wear any underwear at all to date.
I have read that this sensitivity can take several weeks to subside, but wake up every morning in the hope that maybe this will be the day I can get dressed. Be assured your not the only one suffering right now, I am also.

HI DC1286:
You had a nice foreskin that protected the delicate head of your penis, but you chose to get rid of it. Now the delicate head is permanently exposed and there is nothing to protect it. You should of thought of this before you consented to circumcision. This is your own doing. You can only blame yourself for your present condition.
You will need to take off about two weeks while the head toughens up enough for you to wear clothing.
You will have to alter your method of masturbation.
Adult circumcision is outmoded as a treatment for phimosis.
Many men later regret their decision to be circumcised because of the loss of so much sexual sensation.
If you want to recover the head, you can undertake non-surgical foreskin restoration that will take several years.
Non-surgical foreskin restoration may be your best option now that you have been circumcised. This process lengthens the residual shaft skin that remains after a circumcision operation until it is long enough to form a fold that covers the glans penis (head of the penis).
The process was carried out in Biblical times by Jews who wanted to look like Greeks. It is mentioned in the Bible. The technique was lost but rediscovered about 1970 by men who objected to having been circumcised without their consent.
Traction is applied to the residual skin to put it under tension. The skin reacts to relieve the tension by tissue expansion. In tissue expansion, mitosis (cell-splitting) increases the size of the skin and permanent increase in length occurs.
The growth of your new foreskin eventually will cover and conceal the circumcision scar and the light colored head. The result is a very natural appearing penis.
The process is slow and not for everyone. One must feel strongly about the desire to have a foreskin. It takes several years to extend the residual shaft skin to create a new foreskin.
It takes at least two years to restore a foreskin. Foreskin restoration is believed to go faster in young persons who still have growth hormone in their bodies. A young person will have more years in which to enjoy their new restored foreskin.
Run a search on the Internet for “foreskin restoration” and you will find lots of information on the process, technique, and devices to assist in the process.
