>>>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.
>>Infections are always a possibility after any surgery. Were you given any instructions about dressings and keeping the area clean? I would be inclined to check with your doctor if you have concerns about it.
>I do keep the area clean, but I can't retract yet, so it's difficult to wash the whole glans and the innner foreskin. I also have bandage on it. It really hurts when I get an erection at night and I suspect that this has caused the problem.Hey m8, I freaked when I had what looked infected etc... get it looked at .. I did and the GP gave me antibiotics.... he urologist said.. it will look bad though....
all I can say is wait, wait, wait..... give it time..... ps be carefull when u start to use it again ;)
