>I am 39 and have developed phimosis and BXO. I am planning a circ. Can anyone let me know what is better partial or full circ?
I was circ'd at age 52 sort of loose and I went back for a full/tight circ. I like it much better. This is my preference. You need to decide for your self, but I really enjoy the smooth, snug skin. I'm aware of several guys who got a loose or partial circ and went back for a full circ. That is always your option if you get a loose one.
> If anyone has undergone a circ that late and shares his experience, I'd appreciate.I got mine late and I much prefer my circ'd penis. It was my choice and I'm glad I did it.
>How soon can I get to work after the ops?
This will depend on how well you heal and the kind of job you have. Some guys with a desk job have gone back to work within a few hours. I choose to have my circ on a Friday afternoon and went back to work on Monday and gave a active presentation at a conference on Tuesday. If you lift stuff on the job and could be holding it against your pubic area you will indanger the stitches. My doctor said no heavy lifting for two weeks, but you will need to judge the situation. I held heavy boxes against my belly, not the pubic area, within a few days. Also I got cut at about 5:00 p.m., and went out to dinner at 7:00 p.m. It will just depend on how you feel.
