super sensitive glans after adult circumcision

Hi im 20 and got circumcised 2 weeks and 3 days ago i have no more swelling or brusing i can get it up fine but i will not masderbate until 8 weeks have passed to allow for a full recovery. i had Phimosis couldnt even see the head of my penis seen it for the first time 2 weeks 3 days ago all purple lol.

hey guys,

you just summed up me exactly. you posted this a year ago and its day 3 for me after my opp. i was freaking out yesterday when taking the bandage off and seeing ugly stitches and a seemingly bad stitching job on the underside of the penis but I'm hoping thats just the swelling which will subside. Also.... i thought guys who were circumcised could pee so straight with pin point accurate where mine at the moment sprays in 3 different directions saturating the toilet seat, floor and my comfortable pants!! hope this all fixes itself in due time. I understand that the glans will eventually desensitse as I'm getting married in 6 months and have never had intercourse yet so praying it will be what Ive always hoped on that wedding night and not a painful time because of getting this fore snipped. missing my bernie for sure right now. help!

Before the cut, were you able to pull your foreskin back enough to make it shoot straight? If you were, I don't see any reason why it won't be able to after the healing is complete and the swelling is gone.

Remember, there is swelling where the stitches are and the stitches tend to bunch up the skin where they pull it together. Also the underside is not a perfect circle like the top side. There is, or hopefully WAS, a frenulum that runs forward, so that had to be stitched up after being cut away. All that would probably make it look like quite a mess under there.

Six months seems like sufficient time to accomplish the desensitization but you will still be able to enjoy sex even if it's not fully desensitized. You should find that when aroused, sensitivity is not much of a problem. Mine used to be super sensitive (never circumcised) but after arousal my wife could handle it with the foreskin pulled back as much as we both wanted without me noticing anything but pleasure. In fact I liked to have her rub the bare head, it felt really good. Well lubed intercourse was certainly no problem at all. We did that for many years before I finally took steps to desensitize my glans. Desensitizing it was more for my pleasure while masturbating than anything else as it was never a problem during sexual intercourse.

You didn't mention why you had it done. Did you have a problem or was it something you and/or your future wife wanted? Did you choose a particular style of circumcision?

Hey

I know it has been over a year so you probably won't even look at this but I had my circumcision done almost 2 weeks ago and it sounds like I'm about the same place as you were on day 12.

Just wondering how long before this awful sensitivity really started to go away? I'm currently on anti-biotics as I got a really bad infection so that's probably not helping the sensitivity.

If anyone else could help it would be great. Just need to know everything will be ok as it has gone a lot worse than I thought it would.

Thanks.

Hey buddy, Im sort of in the same boat as u. 2 weeks post circ. my doc told me its all normal, the shorter length, the swelling, the misshapen stalk. Lol! The bumps are from fluid retention from the injection and handling, and that would kinda add a ribbed effect to my girl during sex so I'm not that concerned about it. As far as length, I heard all circ stretch out over time so don't worry about it. It'll be fine. Mine is a little shorter now too and really tight during a semi hard on. It's normal.

My boyfriend is getting this surgery done in a week and I'm curious as to what I can do on my part to make this experiece any better and if there is any advise you could offer. he's military and works out like a nut how long before you were able to start running and doing physical activities  thanks in advance

Have you/he discussed the style of circumcision he's going to get?

Has he discussed it with the surgeon?

I would want mine to be high and tight.

High means the scar is placed high up on the shaft far away from the glans so he will have as much of the inner foreskin as possible left on the shaft. Most of the pleasure nerves are in that inner foreskin.

I would want it tight so there is no loose skin bunching up behind the glans.

I am not circumcised and I pull my foreskin back as tight as I can get it when I masturbate so I can rub that inner foreskin for maximum pleasure I dry rub it and holding it tight allows the coronal ridge of my glans to get the maximum amount of rubbing also as I slide my fingers forward. If I were to get circumcised I would want to have it done like that. 

Is there a reason for him getting circumcised or do you just both want him to be like that?

Do you like the feeling of a circumcised penis inside you better?

My wife does not like it when I hold my foreskin back to simulate being circumcised but if she did I would certainly be willing to have it done for her pleasure but I would do it in the way I described, for my pleasure.

I think the recovery time is as individual as any other operation. Some people heal very quickly and some not so fast. It might be anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. If his glans is sensitive that may take some time to desensitize. Can you rub or at least run your fingers over his bare glans when it's dry? If you can, the sensitivity probably will not much of a problem.

I hope this is some help to you.

 

 

HI, I am 26 was sufferring from Phimosis had circumcision 3days back. The biggest problem I am facing is the exposure of glands> Just cant wear nything from last two days and physian is on vacations will be coming after 3 days . Please let me knw what you did to contro your sensation in glands because for me its untolerable.

If you can think of something you can cover it with so it doesn't directly rub against your underwear, that might help. You might try a condom or just Saran wrap with something to hold it on like tape. Not taped onto your skin but just over the plastic to hold it tight.

Can you imagine how that feels to a baby when his unknowing mother bathes him with a cloth, rubs the head to clean it and dries him with a towel, then straps a diaper on? And they think he's crying because he's hungry. o.O

I got my circ done 6 days ago. I believe I got the frenulum removed but on the underside of my glans there's this white flap of skin? Idk.Anyways. The crown, where the cut was made is SOOOO swollen! The sensitivity is unbearable and it's been 6 days and my glans is still mostly covered in the original dressing as its sooo difficult to get off. I soaked for 60 mins in the tub today and couldnt get it all. I'm going to soak some more tomorrow. But seirously, with my dressing I could live life somewhat, but now with it mostly off, I can't even put pants on!has anyone used sprays for the head to desensitize for a while? or wear those condoms that supposedly make you last longer? Is there anything? Even on one or two vicodin, I can hardly sleep......I get queezy just touching it, or putting a dressing bandage on with tape... Beginning to regret this.

I've read about using condoms or numbing gel for gums.

Yes but does that help or just a symptom reliever? I spose it'd help so i could at least apply antibiotic like I'm sposed to...and grt the rest of my bandage off....

It's only temporary. Got to get that thing used to it's new suroundings. I wouldn't use this stuff no more than you had to. The less you use it the quicker the head will get use to things.

So I am about 40 days post-op and 31 years only and had my circumcision coupled with my Vasectomy. First thing, I know everyone is different and has different experiences with this, but in my experience the first week was not so much about pain but more the most discomfort I have ever experienced. The only real pain was dealing with the stitches, especially when they poked into the underside of the gland. The best way I found to make it out of the first week was to squeeze a ring of polysporin on the stitches/incision followed by a ring of vaseline. Also buy a jockstrap (sans cup), some silk or synthetic material tight fitting underwear, to hold it in place, it's not as comfortable as being naked but it protects it from being bumped on the chair when you stand up. 

Secondly, I didn't read of anyone on here removing the stitches but let me tell you, my first stitch didn't come out until 3 weeks and when I saw my doctor at 4 weeks only 5 out of 18 had actually fallen out and he said it could easily take another month before they were all out. So that night I sat down with a pair of scissors and tweezers and took the rest out. The pain I was still getting from the stitches rubbing was gone completely the next day. The pain and discomfort from sensitivity of the gland remains but I can now manhandle it without worrying about ripping the stitches out which has help to desensitize it. (Not telling you to do this without consulting with your doctor, I am not a medical practitioner, it is just my personal experience) 

For anyone worrying about the effects the first week, they do go away. Your shaft will straighten out again (I looked like a 40 year old porn star). Your stream will correct itself, it's due to swelling, I would sit down whenever you go, just watch banging the gland on the seat (put you back right against the Toilet Seat Lid). The swelling will go down, seems to take about a week though. Anyone dealing with pain, your doctor should have prescribed you some pain medication. But in my case I found what ever I took did nothing for pain, so like I said, I found it to be more discomfort than pain. Use mind over matter and as I say to my 3 year old, "suck it up buttercup". I'm not saying what your feeling is not justified, but tell yourself that it's nothing and try to ignore it. Focusing on the pain will make it much worse. Think about when you experience the most pain out of the blue, I bet you weren't focusing on another task so your mind wandered to it. Play a video game or something, keep your mind off of it, you may call me an a$$ but it will work if you actually try. Also, morning wood, damn pain in the a$$, I had it every morning for the first 3 weeks and it made getting a good night's sleep difficult. I have no advice on this other then it will stop. Sleeping with a pillow between your legs will help with getting a good nights sleep, I normally use one due to back problems but I tripled the thickness for the first few weeks. Actually I slept in a recliner chair the first 4 or 5 days so I stayed on my back so it wouldn't drop to the side. Also if you skin is tight when you get a full erection that too will get better, however it will likely take a while, I am still dealing with it and I would guess I will for a while, but the more you use it the better it gets, just fight through the pain. When it comes to masturbation, I have read some people trying it within the first week but I couldn't fathom this, I waited until after the 2nd week. I would recommend waiting until this time as your incision will take about 7-10 days to heal to the point the stitches are not needed so you don't want to risk blowing it open. That should be motivation enough keep off of it

Also, for anyone debating on the vasectomy, let me tell you it was nothing, I would completely forget about it until I scratched and then jumped because I pulled the stitches. The worst part of it was the bandage they put on it, an Elastoplast type, and the fact I am prone to ingrown hairs and that they have to shave you down there. But that pain was the same as when I shaved back in high school. There is no reason for any man not to get a vasectomy (unless some super rare medical complications), no husband who cares about their wife should force them to get their tubes tied.

As far as the woman's point of view, the best thing you can do is not turn him on, trust me after a few weeks he will want it as much as you do, likely more, but it will only cause pain to think about it. I would imagine around the one month make would be a good time to try as long as the stitches are out. I figured I would be ready then, but anyone with 2 or more kids and a full life knows finding time can be an issue so I can't speak from experience. I would think you would have to use a condom and make sure you partner knows it will likely not be the best she has ever had but more a fact finding mission, lol.

You will get through it and as my wife keeps saying, it will be much better in the long run (medically speaking). Plus think about the sexual benefit, if you could hold yourself off for a decent time (20-30 minutes) when your gland was supersensitive, imagine how long you will be able to go for once you become less sensitive and how much your partner will enjoy it.
