Hey, I'm 19... and I got circumsized last Friday because well, I wanted to and stuff. This will be a kinda rant, but also I just want to make sure that everything is going OK.
But so far, the recovery has been hell, I just wanna know if this is normal and when I can start to walk like a normal person and possibly even run.
I met my surgeon beforehand at one of the best hospitals in town so I have confidence in the surgeon and that he would do a good job, during the surgery he kept reassuring me everyting was going fine without me asking so that was good (local anastheasia)
Immediately out of the hospital I don't feel any pain (probably because the anasthaesia hasn't weared off yet) but once I'm back home I'm irritated and slightly in pain. I look down at my penis for the first time and there's a load of blood on the bandage... Throughout the day I keep on bleeding (slowly though, not alot) and I take a painkiller which doesn't help very much tbh. Go to bed in discomfort.
Day 2, wake up due to getting a boner and follow the surgeon's advice of taking a shower and taking the bandage off. It scrapes off and I see a horrible sight... it's like a huge fat dick that is amazingly swelled. When i touch it, it is hot because of the swelling, also the stitches look gross too. When I walk around, my dick is still very uncomfortable and sensitive, how long will this last?
Day 3, dick is as sensitive as day 1&2, but at least the bleeding has completely stopped
Day 4, dick is still extremely sensitive and no signs of becoming less sensitive, but still very swollen. and getting a boner in the morning is an easy way to wake up and not be able to go back to sleep...
OK... is this normal?? and how long will the recovery process take? I haven't been taking any creams or anything should I? I got a doctor's appointment on the 31st of july to have a check up on how my penis is recoverring. No sex or masturbation for 4 weeks but I hope I can do exercise in a week or so. Oh yeah, the stithes should go automatically in like 3-4 weeks as well.
Ugh, this is just a rant, hopefully when I'm recoverred I'll look back at this and laugh, but for now I'm just doing it sensitive and find it hard to walk from my room to the living room. Is everything said here normal though?
