hi there all,
i have read all the posts on here and they are very helpful. i was cicumsised three days ago now. the actual wound itself seems fine and i am pleased wuth that. but the problem i have is the head of my penis is untouchable. just the slightest brush against my leg and i feel like dieing...unbelievable pain!! after the op i of course told the doctors and so called specialists about this but they were stumped! i couldnt believe it. i felt like killing myself. what had i done. i was recommended by the doctors to have it done as it hurt when i pulled my foreskin back, but it was not that tight.
can anyone give me an idea of how long this pain will last?? has anyone experienced the same thing. it all looks fine down there, but the pain when touching the head is simply unprecidented!
any advice or knowlwdge would be much appreciated.
thanks

I am in the same boat as a number of the people who posted here...i had it done 2 days ago, so most of my penis is still in bandage, but the tip that is sticking out is killing me with pain...i'm honestly scared to go anywhere near my own penis (something i never thought i'd have to say...), so any tips for a guy who's still wrapped up and can't hop in the bathtub?
Thanks!
Thanks!

No personal experiences of this, but I know of quite a few people who have had to go through this.
Its only going to get better by touching it and letting your pants touch it and so on. I've heard of some people who will wear a condom throughout the day and night to protect it, you may want to give it a try.
To the guest whose worried about the bath, maybe try cooler water so theres not much temperature change from getting in or you could take a shower but keep it out of the direct stream.
Hopefully thats helped a little, just one question. When you had it done did the doctor provide you with any information on how to look after it now?

I gotta say, I feel for you, guys. I'm not circed but my penis head used to be unbelievably sensitive. I could only imagine what it would be like to have it suddenly and permanently exposed. o.O
When I was in my 30s I got fed up with it being so sensitive. I learned when I was a kid that the guys who were circed were not at all sensitive. They could rub their heads when we were masturbating and it didn't bother them at all. So I figured what I had to do was get mine used to being touched --- a lot. XD
Being moist and sticky when the foreskin was pulled back made it even worse when I touched it, so I cleaned the head with rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball to get it completely dry and clean. Then I was able to touch it all over and rub it gently without sending me through the ceiling. Of course I had the advantage of being able to put it back inside it's foreskin when I put it away until the next session. Eventually I was masturbating with my foreskin held back while I dry rubbed the whole thing, :-D but it took a few months.
Since you can't put it away with a foreskin covering it, perhaps something else would help. Get creative, use your imagination. My thought would be to dry it with the rubbing alcohol, cover it with something really soft like flannel, then pull a sleeve over it to keep the flannel in place. Maybe a finger out of a cotton glove or something like that for a sleeve. Maybe you could even stand having just the glove finger alone. I wouldn't suggest a condom because that would not let air in and it would get moist again. I think the trick is to cover it with something that will keep it dry while not letting it rub directly on your clothing. 8)
The head is a mucus membrane so it excretes something to keep itself moist. That's where that nasty smegma comes from. By forcing it to meet the world all the time the membrane is slowly but surely changed so it stops doing that.

Haven't heard back from you, guest.
How is it going now?
Did you try the glove finger?
What DID you do?

Hello,
I'm 20 I got the procedure done two weeks ago I'm experiencing the same sensitivity on the glans as you other guys but what I'm really worried about is the stitches. They're supposedly dissolvable but its been two weeks and there practically impossible to remove and more painful than the sensitive glans. Any advice?

I had myself circumsized about 3 days back and I can empathize with some of the folks here. The tip of the penis is unbearable to touch. But I use a penile desensitizer to reduce the pain - the STUD 100 spray (which is basically lidocaine spray) works great for me. But what is most effective is the wonder drug called GABAPENTIN - my doc prescribed it for me. IT works excellent and so far I have felt very little pain after the circumscision. What the drug essentially does is it confuses your brain about the pain. So while the penis nerve glans are slowly getting desensitized while touching against your underwear, you don't actually feel any pain. Right now my penis head looks bruised and it will probably remain so for the next 4-5 days. Then I expect the skin of the glans to peel and be replaced by slightly tougher dryer skin. I am guessing at this point in time, the pain due to glans oversensitivity should start declining. I will keep you posted.

Hi guys,
I'm 20 years old and I just had a circumcision 4 days ago. I too empathize with the guys on this board because I get acute pains whenever my glans comes into contact with anything. It's too painful for me to have my glans bare while wearing shorts so whenever I'm not in my room and I need to go out, I bandage my glans up to protect it from being touched. I do this to go to sleep as well or it would be too painful to fall asleep. Even though the specialists instructions were to remove the original bandages after 24 hours of the surgery I still cant help it as the pain is too much. However, I do try to sit in my room naked for hours in order to have it exposed and not bandaged up.
I have tried desensitising my penis with the methods mentioned. Doing it in the shower is most helpful as now I can stand having the stream of water direct from the shower fall over the glans. Tapping it no longer hurts anymore and in fact feels a little numb. But I cannot handle getting my glans rubbed in any way; be it by my own fingers, brushing against my leg or rubbing against my trousers. I'm patiently trying daily to see if it goes away with more "exercise" but the above posters advice on taking Gabapentin seems like a good idea and something I would like to try next.
My stiches have not dissolved and it looks pretty bad after the surgery. I have this weird lump of flesh on the underside of the penis thats connected to the frenulum. It looks like the point where they tied most of the skin together after the circumcision and it looks very unsightly.
Honestly at this point I do regret having done a circumcision as living with phimosis was not only painless but the "anteater" looked alot better than the lumpy mess I have now even if it does look like a normal penis from the top. But thats just me letting off some steam, what's done is done so I need to learn to live with what I have now. :-P

Hey Guys,
I am glad i found this site out. I am a 25 yr old male who just got circumcized 4 days ago. I have been living with phimosis since my circumcision and it has driven me all my life crazy that i do not know about the circumsision. My foreskin was so tight on my penis you could only see the top part of the penis and if i felt it then it would burn. With the tightness it has driven me to be extremely unsecure, and i passed up on sex so many times because i was afraid that the foreskin would break during intercourse because of the tightness and i did not know if i could handle the pain or embarrassment of my partner, so i am still a virgin... lol.. i got circumsized so that my fear would overcome of this and things would be better. I am in alot of pain and i cannot touch the head of my penis because it feels like a jellyfish sting. Where the stitches lie, is even greater pain. I read everyones post here and i hope we can all give sympathy for each other, and know that it will get better in the long run. I tried the tapping on the head of the penis today for an hour or so, and i sleep with boxers on at bed, but in the day i bandage my penis and tape it (not to tight) so that i dont have to feel the pain while i walk knowing the sensitivity. God i hope it gets better.
I also read that alot of men lose alot of sensitivity who were circumsized while when they were not circumsized had a great deal of pleasure. Now with the phimosis, ic ould never know how it would feel with the entire glands being exposed, and i really hope i do not lose any sensitivity. I am gonna see about that S-100 spray and that prescription that the one guy said in this forum that you do not feel the pain.. is the S-100 spray over the counter or is it a prescription...
In a way i regret getting circumsized because of the horrid pain right now, and in a way i do not. I just hope the sensitivity goes away and i can finally have a sex life with someone i really love. (i did tell her the situation). Will keep you posted.

Day 3 for trying Gabapentin.. isnt really doing much for my penis... that Stud-100 maybe does all the work, i ordered some still waiting on it.. yellow stuff coming out a little by the stitches...
could someone tell me what is the max time u should have yoru stitches in?
how long will the shaft be sore for? mine is a bit strange shaped still cylinder at the end, and brusied, and a bit of one of my balls is bruised too..

No, please don't send me any pictures.
On average the stitches should be in for about 2 weeks, or maybe longer depending on how the healing process is going. You can go to the doctor to get them removed if you're not comfortable doing it yourself.
You mention some yellow stuff coming out, which could be a sign of infection, so I'd like you to take a trip back to the doctor to get it checked out as you could require some antibiotics.
Let me know how you get on :-)

Hey Luke,
I'm the guy that posted right before you, I'm the 20 year old. Its been 2 weeks now since my operation and sensitivity for me has gone down almost completely. My glans no longer stings when touched, even when I rub it (in fact the rubbing creates a more pleasurable feeling and not stinging). All of this without using any medication or spray, just gave it time.
I too experienced some yellow stuff coming out from the ring of stiches around the shaft around day 9-12 and it may seem like puss and an infection but apparently it was just some fluid being released and now its completely gone and looks fine. However theres no harm in going to a doctor to make sure you dont have a bad infection.
Kingfreze is right, the stiches will come out by themselves in about 2 weeks time, mine just came off like a couple of days ago (and don't worry its not all at once ofcourse lol).
I actually brought this up to some of my friends and suprisingly hyper-sensitivity is more common than people think. These doctors tell us things like "I've never heard of this before" but actually our problems are really common and they generally sort themselves out automatically. Apparently its quite common to have hyper-sensitivity in the glans after a circumcision and they usually die down in 2 weeks time, exactly like my case. So no worries to anyone feeling down or depressed about it,the problem is just uninformed doctors lol.
Oh and I don't know if I should recommend this or not but around Day 11, I started getting err uncomfortable lol so I had to um relieve myself rofl ... I used a condom to act as a kind of foreskin and I... well... yeah. Anyway, it helped to desensitise it ALOT because when youre having sex your mind tends to take pain as pleasure. Generally it could be bad because youre hurting yourself and youre mistaking it for pleasure, but as long as youre careful not to detach your stiches and just focus on the glans, its a good thing because I helped desensitise my glans while it felt good for me! I dont know if this is bad advice to give but its my opinion that this also helped desensitise my glans a whole lot, however do at your own risk! But now I can do it without a condom and I can handle my glans in any way without pain.
Id have to say that now Ive gone back to 90% efficiency. My penis looks a little odd... but it still looks better than the old ant-eater, it feels ALOT better during sex (I dont know who said you LOSE sensitivity after a circumcision) and it makes me more confident knowing it's just more normal now.

Luke here,
I am on day 12 now.. those Gaba.. pills r working but make me drowsy...
HOW LONG IS THE SHAFT SUPPOSE TO BE SWOLLEN FOR? Mine is an odd shape, and it was not like thisbefore the circumcision.. i still think it is swollen and bruised before under my penis one of the sides of my ballsack is black and red so i still think it is from the bruising. I am going to go to my physician next week and see what that white stuff is behind my glands coming out from where my stitches were.. yellow/white... i know everyone has different healing times but jesus christ... how long will my shaft be swollen...
I just want everything to be ok. The sensitivity comes on and off but doesnt feel as bad but i still have to bandate the penis and polysporin it and its been almost 2 weeks. The brusing does not hurt at all but the shape of my shaft go frmo normal to thicker.. and its lumpy.

Hi again Luke,
Sorry, I knew there was something I forgot.
Swelling and bruising is normal after a circumcision, mainly due to the injection of the anaesthetic, but it should heal after about 2 weeks. If not, then its best to see your doctor.
