>1) The head's sensitivity will cease to bring sharp pain. How hard is it to tolerate the pain after the op? I heard from someone here that Vitamin E helps with it? Any tips from those who have been through this?
I don't know about Vit E, but it took a couple of weeks for the bulk of the discomfort caused by the hyper sensitive head to calm down. By week three it was much, much better.
>2) How long til I can have sex after the op? I've read anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks. It might sound foolish, but I had "stuff" planned for 4 weeks after the op, and I'd hate to have to miss all of it because of this. :)
It varies from person to person. You'll have to judge for yourself nearer the time. Of course you could always settle for a good ol' fashion BJ for the time being.
Good luck.
