Well its been 5 months since i had my circumcision done. Before the op was performed i was hoping that everything would be as good as new by the end of the year. Unfortunately, things haven't worked out the way i hoped.
I have no problem whatsoever in day to day activities and have been fine on the surface since the completion of 2 months. However even now i havent healed completely. There are these raw-ish skin parts hanging loose that havent fused to the sides yet. Since it is sore it burns like hell when ever i pour water to try and clean the area. Im not sure if it should take this long for a circumcision to heal. It looks terrifying as well. I have to email my doctor about this as i dont see much healing progress since the last month.
I dont want to be in a situation where i have to undergo another procedure to correct this. More than physically it would be too mentally exhausting. To anyone considering getting a circ done, here is my 2 cents -- There is nothing wrong in getting the procedure done if it is a medical problem as it was in my case. Its definitely not worth the hassle to do it for purely cosmetic purposes. Also if getting it done then an any cost DO NOT go for a low & loose cut. This is what i have and i wouldnt recommend it to anyone. It takes way longer for the wound to heal and also you have to constantly pull back the remaining outer foreskin to clean the covered parts. In a tight circ the problem of hygiene and cleanliness is a no issue.
Anyway i have to live with what i have but i would advice anyone undergoing this circ to clearly outline to the doc what kind of cut you would like.. i was ignorant and didnt know too much about "styles" and benefits and my doc never even presented me with any options and the pros and cons of each.
Heres hoping to a speedy recovery in the first few months of 2014!
