it depends how old you are. the older you are, the longer it takes to heal.

No you cannot feel a difference. They only look different-my first was uncircumcised so now if I encounter one I know it's not weird or dirty like some girls think. It really isn't that big of a deal as long as they have good hygeine. 3 out of the 5 guys I've been with weren't circumscised and I never had any problems with it.

It can take up to six months for the entire hole to heal up...very normal.

Call your surgeon.  usually a quick wound check and review of bowel habits is all you need between 4 and 8 weeks post op unless you have any problems.  Hopefully, the fact that you are asking here means you feel great - nvertheless at least one post op vsit is a good idea.  Best Wishes

I had it done 6 years ago, and have no regrets.  \n\nIt is a fairly long surgery (3-5 hours, depending on the surgeon, his/her technique, and the size of the patient)\n\nYou will probably have pretty long incisions.  Those sting for about a week, but pain medication makes it ok.  There is an achey pain deeper in, which I didn't think was too horrible.\n\nGive yourself a week to do nothing.  Once you are off narcotics, you can drive and pretty much get back to normal.  You might need 2 weeks off work, if you are of the employed persuasion.\n\nHere's a helpful hint:  pantyliners make great pads to soak up the little bit of blood that accumulates on your incisions.\n\nOther than that, do everything your surgeon tells you to do, and things will go well.\n\nGood luck!

Yes it is painful. My boyfriend had to have it for the same reason earlier this year and he was in pain for a week but he only had 7 days off work though. There will be a bit of seepage and the stitches take their time coming out but its ok after 1 or 2 baths per day. Sex is definitely better because it doesnt hurt him anymore and there was no smell either before the op nor after. Recovery period will be 2 weeks tops and you can have sex 4-6 weeks after the op. Hope this helps but have it done you wont regret it. Any further queries just email me. Thanks

Most bruises and cuts take only about a week or 2 to fully heal up from an average person. The process will take longer if you happen to lack any iron in your blood as well as being diabetic (as the inability for your wounds to heal is a symptom due to the excess sugar in your blood cells). If the latter is the case, you need to see the doctor for diagnosis and proper treatment.

There are many different ways of circumsicion, however in Africa, usually they remove both labias and sew the wound together leaving a small hole near the vagina. This is to assure that they remain virgins until marriage (As it would be easy to see if anyone had penetrated the wound), but they also believe that it promotes fertility in the women. \n\nUnfortunately there are many side effects, sometimes the wound gets infected and the woman dies, or it could cause infertility which may lead to her being rejected later on down the line. It's also extremely painful to have sex, nevertheless it hinders mensturation and urination, both being horribly painful. Fluids get trapped in the wound since obviously it all can't get out, and that too can cause a (perhaps deadly) infection. \n\nThere are other ways of female circumscision, many being much less painful than the ones you *sometimes* see in Africa. (Not all tribes do it, and that form is much rarer) SOME Muslims sometimes circumcise their daughters although the way I just mentioned above has been banned from many countries. Usually they are the Egyptian Muslims that practice this rather than the typical Arab Muslims, however it has become less and less as they see that it has no roots in the Qu'ran. \n\nThe other ways include removing the labias but not sewing it together, removing one labia, or the most popular worldwide: removing the clitoral hood.

it depends on how deep the burn is. it could take a few days or a few weeks. the peeling is the dead skin coming off as new skin grows in, so be glad for the peeling. when the peeling stops, it's healed.

No it should not take 17 months for your incision to heal. I would make an appointment with your Dr. as soon as possible. Could be something as simple as a suture that has not dissolved... Or maybe an abcess. I think that it sounds more like a suture-I had a suture that wouldnt dissolve and it was red around the area where the suture was-I felt something sticking out and pulled the suture out,a small amount of pus came out . Of course that didnt make me too happy so I made an appointment with my surgeon to make sure there wasnt an abcess-which it wasnt. Thank goodness.Please be seen by your Dr. Ask him/her questions until you get the answers that you deserve. Remember you are the one who hired them to do your surgery and the birth of your child and you have the right to know the reason it is not healing. One more thing-do not let them charge you for the visit because it is a follow-up from your surgery-it should be included. The Dr. should have taken care of this problem way before now.

dont listen to the guy before me that said to have him circumsized. take him to a professional doctor. you shouldnt choose if he is circumsized or not. its his body.

Slowly pull a little at a time back to slowly stretch the opening. Do not get cirucmcised, it sucks (first hand experience). Just slowly expand the opening by pullining the foreskin back until you feel slight pressure while erect, hold it for a little bit then just let it go back, keep doing this and in about a month you should be able to pull back your foreskin.

ive done it and let me tell you it works you got to be patient.\n\nGlad you asked, there was someone else who asked that question. \n\nThere are quite a few restoration devices out there.\n\nWell some people wish they wasnt circumcised and thats why they seek restoration.

I think the timeline is somewhere like 3-6 months. You should probably wait a good while so your body has time to heal. Do what your doc recommends. Don't get anxious, take your time.

You may have Phimosis if you are not circumcised. If this is the case, ask your doctor about Preputioplasty. it will alleviate the pain, and spare you getting cut.\nIf you are circumcised, it may have been done too tightly.\nDON"T GET CICUMCISED! EVER. If you have been you need to start restoring the foreskin to relieve the pain.\n\nBUT! you are too young to do anything drastic. You penis is still growing and will do so until you are 18!!!\n\nLearn More:\nGo To:\n\nwww.foreskin.org   and www.Norm.org

no biggie! except the one that was in your butt! ok, rest and clean the ass and smack some neosporin on the cut part. also, take two advil and go to sleep tomorrow you'll hurt worse than today but keep on keepin on and it will get better. NO HOSPITAL unless the bleeding won't stop!

In most cases, men should refrain from sexual intercourse or mast*rbation for about six weeks after circumcision—until the incisions are healed and the sutures are removed. Some men experience frequent and prolonged erections in the first days after the surgery. After the first 48 hours or so, ointments or bandages aren't usually needed, but wearing loose clothing for a few days is recommended.\n\nThis information was found here:  http://www.swedish.org/16905.cfm\nYou can find more details about adult circumcision there.
