Genitourinary Prolapse :: How Long Can Stitches Take To Dissolve?
I am 7 months post rectocele and vaginal vault operation all being absolutely fine but last week started with a brownish discharge which has got bloodier. Tonight there is noticeable blood, very brown not fresh blood, and I am sure that when I have just been for a pee that there were stitches down the loo. I have appointment with nurse on Monday anyway because of discharge but can stitches hang around for 7 months ?
View 3 RepliesPenis :: Circumcision And Frenuloplasty - Swelling And Stitches
I had circumcision and frenuloplasty a few days back. I had a lot of extra foreskin and it was rather tight. Post surgery, the sutures are still present, especially at the bottom of the glans where the frenulum meets the foreskin. Now, the place where the stitch is, is swollen with the folded foreskin. Not to mention, I have a ring of skin surrounding the glans as well. I want to add here that I have had some rather painful erections since the surgery. The stitches seem to be drying up slowly. I keep the wounds well taken care off. Please let me know if this is normal and if the folded up foreskin would look better and become normal once the stitches are gone. I am somewhat freaked out right now.
View 1 RepliesPenis :: Failed Frenuloplasty - Circumcision
I realised almost three years ago that my foreskin wouldn't retract at the age of 15, after some stretching I tried in the shower and finally went to the doctors to discuss this and I was prescribed with some betnovate cream to loosen the foreskin. I applied this for a few months and the results were good as I could retract the foreskin to wash in the shower, however I had a problem with the foreskin retracting in cold weather or when nervous because of skin tensing around the scrotum and shaft of the penis. I kept applying the cream until May 2011 and was still having this problem, however I could retract my foreskin to below the head with only slight tethering.
I also had issues with smell sometimes on the foreskin, which I guess was from leftover sperm cells that wouldn't go away when I cleaned in the shower. As you would guess this damaged my confidence as I was worried about engaging in oral sex or similar with a partner and wanting to be hygienic, so in the August of 2011, I discovered an operation called a frenuloplasty which told me would lengthen the frenulum to allow full retraction of the penis, as I had a slightly short frenulum.
The operation occurred in November of last year and all was okay to begin with, however it took longer than the said time for the stitches to heal. One stitch in particular looked like it was beginning to gather skin which was worrying, and around Christmas that time I noticed the penis was beginning to bend slightly when I retracted the foreskin which was worrying. I went to a GP about this and he told me to stick in and h said the scar tissue may not have fully healed up yet.
Progressively over this past year the skin has begun to gather more and more around the incision causing there to be less skin on the rear side of the penis causing it to bend intensely when flaccid. The scar tissue has also hardened up and caused my penis skin to thicken which is slightly unpleasant, whenever my penis is erect (in many awkward situations as you can guess) the foreskin retracts which is very uncomfortable and I am not at a point where it is constantly irritating and painful around the areas of my scrotum and penis as it feels like bloodflow is being trapped or something of the sort with my deformed foreskin structure. I was misinformed until the day of the operation that if this operation failed, nothing could be done and circumcision was the only option.
The way he said this to me at last minute and not in a very important way made me feel like this was a thousand to one chance of happening, therefore thinking this operation would sort out my problems. At this point I am severely frustrated and depressed about facing my future as I know I could have bared with how things were before my operation, and now it feels like losing a part of skin and a sensation I have grown up with naturally since birth is certainly not what I want to do.
I am not sure if circumcising my penis would benefit (stop it bending and hurting) and also I really do not like the idea of the head being permanently exposed and desensitising over time from rubbing on materials of my underwear. Please if anybody knows any alternatives that can help sort out my wrongly healed frenuloplasty then please help, as circumcision is a route that I do strongly not want to take and am feeling helpless and worried of my future sex life.
Prostate :: Dissolve A Solid Agar Agar (linear Polysaccharide Agarose) Gel
I need to find a way to break down agar agar gel.
Me and my girlfriend were sexually experimenting, and i was wondering what it would feel like to have that in my body.
I would never thought i would be the one writing such hard of a failure on the internet, first of all. Never do this at home, but at that moment it was just jeah. The brain does shut of parts of itself in these situations...
I am kind of frustrated and i do not know what to do. I have this stuff in my prostate, and my vas deferens hurts a lot. Because there is not a good flow of fluid material possible at this state.
It is true that it is better to see a doctor, and i will tomorrow. But the thing is that stuff does not go away. And i do not want to be operated, because of it is a very difficult operation, and probably not even possible.
Therefore i am looking for help here, if there is a possible way to dissolve solid agar agar gel, in a safe way inside of my body.
Is there an enzyme for this ?

View 2 RepliesThyroid :: Natural Ways To Dissolve Thyroid Nodules
I have 3 thyroid nodules and 1 cyst. I have been advised to have a thyroidectomy. I do not want to go this route yet and am searching for some natural remedies. I have heard of using iodine but to be careful do to the fact that that might enlarge the nodules. I recently found out that I am very iodine deficient from a lab result. I have heard of iodine trapping, whereby the iodine taken in when their is a severe deficiency is immediately 'trapped' and held in the gland in order to preserve some iodine for the use of the thyroid. I would like to proceed with caution and try the iodine therapy.
Does anyone on this board have any experience with successfully dissolving or at least reducing the nodules/cysts?

Genitourinary Prolapse :: Stitches Are Coming Out?
I've just been for a wee and looked down as I wiped and there's a long string of stitch (still attached inside) but dangling out? It's about 2 inches long!!
There's always been what looks like a little ball of skin, with a looped stitch going through it.... That's still there but this long one is new! Should I be worried?
I've been bleeding since the op, worse since Thursday but I think it's a period! Could this be why?

I'm 20 years old, and had a circumcision 13 days ago today which i'm quite happy with... However, I feel I have an infection on the underside as there is like white stuff all attached to it and even the skin looks kind of mouldy (not crazily but only a tiny bit)....
I'm supposed to be back at work on Monday but don't think it's possible... I feel really down right now (past few days) as my bandage came off yesterday which I was advised to keep on till it fell off (which it did yesterday) so the sensitivity is more strong now... Going to try go to the doctors later and see what's up.
I was also wondering when the stitches will fall out? I try to have 2 baths a day in salted water (quite warm) for 20-25 minutes a go.

I had surgery 10 days ago and had my stitches removed yesterday. The nurse wasn't able to get one out but told me that she was going to trim it right down and it would most likely work it's way out.

its been 4 weeks since i got circumcised. And i'm having a few problems at the moment.
1) Underwear keeps sticking to my penis, which is then really sore to take off. So I haven't been wearing my underwear i've been wearing loose pajama pants which is helping. Any ideas on how to stop my penis sticking to underwear or is this normal for a while?
2) Also its been 4 weeks and I thought the sensitivity would have went by now, do you think it will go in another week or two?
3) Last thing, i still have a few stitches around my penis , if they don't fall off in the next 2 weeks should i take them off myself?
