>>hi again,
>>I had it done last Thursday, just to remind you. It certainly looks better day by day. There's no pain at all, apart from morning erections. What worries me is that it doesn't let me retract comfortably yet, because the wound smarts a bit. The stiches haven't drop off yet. Is it too early to retract (almost one week)? Do you think it's normal?
>I can't really say I had such an experience, but I think you should try to retract tomorrow, then the day after it, then etc. I think a normal retraction (just right behind the head) should be fine in another week.

I'm afraid I can't retract today either. What causes the pain is not the frenulum wound itself but mainy the foreskin on the other side. It wasn't only a frenuloplasty - the doctor cut some of the foreskin too (partial circ) to prevent paraphimosis problems. Is it possible to have an infection? How do you know when you get one?
I think I will go and have it checked again tommorow by my doctor.
