How bad does it swell up after the operation? I don't understand why it swells up like that for so long. Does the swelling actually hurt or is it just bigger? How long did you have the bandages on for? Did you need to get them replaced every week or did you do it yourself? Did you have dissolvable stitches? 4 weeks seems like a long time for those, I've read they usually dissolve after 2-3 weeks. As far as sex goes, masturbation was "fine" after day 11? What about sexual intercourse, would you say it's possible now at week 3? (by intercourse I mean "at least" oral sex)

Lots o' questions. :)


>>EBT, I suspect if the cream really helped.
>Perhaps you're right. Knowing about some sort of treatment that could help guys in the future to have a much faster decrease in glans sensitivity would be nice though.
>>EBT, so you still have swelling?
>Yes. I had a minor infection too (day 4 - 10), I don't know if it will delay the decrease in swellings, but I guess that it is very likely.
>Some says that it might take 4, sometimes up to 6 weeks before the swellings are gone. I would say that my swellings are now 50% of what they were right after surgery. Just as with glans sensitivity, there was not much decrease for the first 2 weeks, it seems to decrease much faster now.
>I'll just try to be patient.
>Right now my main concern is to be able to pull my foreskin forward to cover the glans again. Both surgeons said that it would be possible, but I haven't been able to do it so far (3 weeks after).
>So, if anyone with a partial circ sees this: Should I be worried? Or should I just wait until the swellings are gone? Not knowing if I should be worried or not, is in a way worse than if I knew that I should be worried...
>>I can't wait.
>I know what you mean ;)
