Q: Post Circumcision Worries...

I'm 16 and received a circumcision last afternoon. He told me he was "going to remove all foreskin and fragelum" and I said ok. My penis hurt only 2 hours after surgery and is 100% fine now! If it all heals correctly, will it look like the avergage, normal, circumcised penis? The stiching is just below the head of my penis.

I'm very worried!

Of course! If it heals well, it will look fine. In fact, getting circumsized at your age is safer than getting it done as a baby.

I got it loosely circumcised and the stiching is RIGHT below my head. Is it going to look like the average circumcised if it fully heals!?

As far as I could tell from your description, yeah! Why wouldn't it?

The only thing you MIGHT notice is a slight colour difference between your head and your shaft skin. This is because the head of your penis has been covered by your foreskin your whole life and hasn't been exposed to the wear and tear of the outer world.

"The average circumcised penis" is a difficult term to use, because circumcisions vary in technique. Sometimes they're done, as you were, right under the head and around the frenulum (a very signifcant pleasure centre under the head of the penis), so the skin is still loose.. some are done right directly around the circumference of the penis under the frenulum (like many at birth), and some, unfortunately, are done by removing all or portions of the frenulum.... not to worry, though, this is usually done by an untrained person, such as a tribal or inexperienced religious leader or something of the like.

In any case, it sounds like your doc knew what he was doing. You'll be fine! Smile
