A little problem about Circumcision

[George Manton]

Hey guys:)
10 days ago i had a circumcision due to extremely tight foreskin so to eliminate risk of infection, i had myself cut.
Most of my stitches have dissolved after regular baths, but the stitches and (glue??) underneath the penis havent gone yet and seem like a yellowy goo, is this just what the stitch glue looks like when wet?
There is definately more stitches still there cause its quite itchy :(
And finally, how long after the circumcision can intercourse and masterbation commence? i dont wanna start too early and irritate the wound :(

Edit: I am 18 years old

Thankyou all for your time :)

i think that that maybe normal as most peope get it any way after a period of time (foreskin or none) a layer of gunk will apear under the skin. so maybe it just needs to be cleaned...i say this because you say you had tight foreskin meaning underneath it probs hasnt been cleaned for a while so just clean it with some damp cotton wool or cottton buds (i dont recomend normal tissues as they can be rough and cause irritation)

and to the second part leave it untill all stitches have gone (but do not hurry the process) and then after that as soon as you are ready but is it hurts at all stop and do no more for a while

(i'm not a doctor just reading out of a sex.ed book that we got in yr.6 :lol: )
hope all this helps :D

Thanks, that helps alot!

Could someone also tell me why it hurts when i get an erection?
is that because the skin is still being stitched together ?

talk to your doctor and he will tell you when the time is right

About the yellow goo, you may want to keep it clean and ask your doctor. For masturbation and intercourse, you should wait untill its completely healed. When you get an erection, it may hurt because the skin, again, is not completely healed. Give it some time and it should work itself out.

thanks senior. the thing is, i was advised by the doctors at the hospital to have plain baths, and just bathe the wound for 2-3 weeks. So, i have refrained from using soap on it. When would you say is the most appropriate time to start cleaning it?

[ULeon]

I would guess that you could start actualy cleaning t after those 3 weeks that they said, just dont be to rough because it is a wound that is healing...and,about the masturbation and other stuff wait until it looks completly healed and healthy then try if it hurts or dosent feel right wait another,week..good luck

You should keep the area clean and dry to reduce the risk of any infection, and be patient for it to heal. See your doctor if there are signs of infection. Wait until it has completely healed before having sex or masturbating.

you sure the yellow goo isn't pus? when they sent you home from the doctor after basically doing surgery on your dick they didn't give you a paper with instructions about when to use soap and when it was okay to jerk off or have sex or anything like that? when i had my wisdom teeth out they gave me 2 pages of instructions.
