Penis :: Post Circumcision - Take The Antibiotics For The 10 Days?
Mar 26, 2014
I've recently undergone a circumcision and have some queries however the surgeon who performed the surgery is on annual leave for a week. A few days after the procedure I noticed something wasn't quite right so I went to ED and as suspected had an infection. Would the fact that I had an infection mean that it could heal slower/incorrectly. I ask as one side of the stitches seems to be a little stretched and not sitting as tight as the other side. I was also prescribed oral antibiotics as well as an antibiotic cream by the ED doctor. I was told to take the oral antibiotics for 5 days but was given enough for 10 days by the pharmacist. Would there be any harm in taking the antibiotics for the full 10 days?

So I finally had an operation on my member on Thursday. The doctor gave me what I believe was a partial circumcision. I had to do this procedure for medical reasons - chronic inflammation, the tip of my foreskin was discoloring as though it had vitiligo. He told me prior to the procedure that he will leave as much skin as possible, and removing the infected areas, which I was extremely happy about as I have the best of both worlds so to speak.
Pain in urination for the first two goes after the operation, the first time it was at the hospital, it was painful from the get go, almost fainted out of fear of the pain (I anticipated pain, but was scared of the amount), second time was later in the evening it was ok at start, but towards the end, my glans began to swell up even more and it hurt a bit. Now peeing is absolutely normal, I also find a have a more powerful stream than prior to my circ (its like a riot hose).
By the next day, there was no pain at all, save for the pressure I get from the nocturnal erection. Some light spotting with blood. I changed my gauze (which for some reason wasn't tightly bandaged (it fell off apparently after the operation, but I changed another one at the hospital, but again, not tightly bandaged)) and will continue to do so. I was able to walk on the second day. The glans began to expose themselves (time to see the world), but it was quite sensitive, but nothing I can't tolerate.
I also noticed that I cannot see my incision line as there's a swelled layer of skin covering it, most of my head, save for the tip is still covered by this. I pull it back very gently and I pull it back very little so that I can barely see the sides as I don't want to force the stitches to pull themselves. I can sort of see something like my incision line, but I can't make of it. Probably call the urologist on Monday, but for this weekend, just leave it for now.
By the end of that night, there was no pain, lots of boredom as I couldn't go out, so I slept. Few nocturnal erections, but nothing to worry about, just some pressure on the penis area.
On Saturday I wake up to some erections and pressure, again nothing to worry about. I even go out with my mother today (I did so yesterday for an hour, one hour or so driving and 30 minutes sitting down eating a meal and later going down to buy some more gauze swipes).
As the glans occasionally expose themselves I live the day feeling the sensitivity of the glans. While its annoying, its not too bothersome for me to feel edgy. I enjoy another quiet night, save for an evening drive to the shops. I slept this night without gauze and padding and put some boxers on, which I won't do again for a while.
This night (few hours prior to this post), I had an intense erection which woke me up, all of a sudden I felt a pop, as tho a stitch had fallen off. I ignored it after laying in the fetal position as advised and slept. I was awaken by a second erection which only had the usual pressure that I felt. I went to pee and found that there was small bleeding on my penis, which went away with one wipe, it was too small to be noticed.
I plan to return to putting gauze and padding on again for a week or two, and begin soaking my penis to clean it off.
Is it normal for whats left of the skin to cover the incision? I would like to see how my stitches are holding up, I don't even know where its placed (I have an idea from pictures and common sense, but I can't see them myself due to that skin issue.

I was circumcised on Friday as I had a severe case of phimosis in which the glans was completely covered. It is now Monday. I am a little concerned because my penis is quite numb. After researching for months on what to expect post-surgery, most of the stories I've read suggest that the head should be hyper-sensitive immediately following the surgery.
This has definitely not been the case for me. Last night I actually woke up and went to the bathroom just to make sure my penis was still attached. It was that numb. After reading so many stories of hyper-sensitivity, this numbness is starting to scare me. Should I be concerned?
If I touch the glans and shaft, I can feel them on my fingers, but VERY minimally. However, there is quite a bit of swelling so I'm assuming that the numbness is the result of the swelling. My urine tends to spray in three separate streams, suggesting that the urethral tract is obstructed by internal swelling...Does that sound right?
There is some bruising on the glans that I can feel as I walk around. A tingly sensation, but again it is very minimal. Overall, it is quite numb and not at all sensitive as I expected. Anyone else have a similar experience?
Any opinions are appreciated. Thanks!

when you got an erection for the first few day how did it feel? was it you penis that was painful or your foreskin a bit tightening that hurt.
when you pee during those first few days how was it? did you feel you could only pee out of a little hole little than more than you usually could.

So I was circumcised two weeks ago. It has been quite the ordeal let me tell you! I am concerned about one thing the most right now though and just need to ask. The doctor left my frenulum like a fleshy peninsula on my penis. it looks like a clitoris underneath my penis head and it is large. I have seen many post op pictures and none of them have this hideous mound of flesh underneath so why am i cursed? Is this normal? Will it go down? Will I need another painful and embarrassing surgery? My doctor refuses to take phone calls and I am not asking his female staff about this... Please if you have any info do let me know and thank you in advance! I took the best pic I could with my phone but the above view looking down I could not get and that's where you see how far out this flesh really sticks out.

I had it done about five days ago now and the glans are still fairly sore to touch. It makes wearing pants fairly uncomfortable right now. It appears to be slightly bruised on closure inspection and I was wondering how long it takes for the bruising to go, completely? Is the best way to do it just to suck it up and deal with the friction between the bruised part and my underwear until it goes away itself?

I just had my penis circumcised about 15 days ago and its been healing great. I am 21 and was suffering from tight foreskin and painful sex, which is the reason. The dried blood has slowly been coming off and today, most of it came off.. and i noticed that the corona on top of the head is kind of attached to the shaft of the penis. I have recently been applying petroleum gel since about 5 days and noticed this today.. and it does have a mild pain when i turn my head away from the shaft (downwards). Does this mean that my skin that was cut off, accidentally connected to the penis head corona itself??
The circumference of the penis head does have white stuff that looks like puss but this is suppose to be the self dissoluble sutures/stitching. Everytime i shower, the remaining white stuff washes off and new one forms. I already approved this with my doctor, multiple times.. it is only dissolving stitching that makes it look like the way it looks..

I was circumcised 8 days ago, I have spots of blood coming from the stitches underneath my penis head, is it normal? I am getting full erections and its paining when I'm erect, but normal when flaccid.
I soak my penis 3 times a day in saltwater and dab it off with my cloth. When will I know when the stitches are ready to come out as it is quite irritating and prickly.
What should I do, I'm struggling to keep my penis in an upward direction to prevent swelling any advice on the, can I let my penis hang?

I have noticed that in the area from a few mm below my circumsision to below my head on the left side there is a bulge. This bulge is a rounded area. The colour is a little lighter at the point which comes out furthest from the rest of my penis. It does not always occur, and can be removed by squeezing the enlarged circular area. When erect it appears normal. I tried pe stretching a few months ago and did feel a sharp pain, then I stopped. I am unsure if it correlated to that. I can not remember exactly when it began. It is not painful. And has been occuring for months. I mastubate once daily. Thank you for your time. 15 male white

I am 19 years old and i had a circumcision due to phimosis 9 days ago.
Some of the stitches are gone and it is not so swollen anymore. I still can't masturbate of course as it hurts.
I got an erection today. I was not fully erected but still.... When i got the erection I saw that my penis was really smaller than it used to be.. I measured it and I found it was 10 cm... Before circumcision I was 16.5 cm.
Will my penis return to its normal size over the time? (6 weeks after the operation) Have something went wrong? Could this be because I am still swollen down there and because I can't get fully erected due to the stitches?

Well I'm 23 and have had this problem for as long as I can remember. I finally went to the doctors and was forwarded to the hospital this week. Seen the doctor there and have been told the best way forward is to have an Circumcision! Now this seems the best way forward as i can't even pull my foreskin back. But since google-ing this topic I have read some really horror stories on Circumcision. I'm from the UK and it's not a very common thing to have done. I really need some advice as to go forward with this as i have the op in 4 weeks on the NHS free.
