dear brothers,

i've been thinkin of goin for circumcision and i have after reading the informative details given by some of the bros here, i do have abit more questions.

as a 30yr old havin phismosis, i have no idea what has collected underneath the foreskin over these years.

So once the skin is cut and the penis exposed, will those deposits ard the penis be easy to remove, esp over time? and how?
and over long will it take to have it lookin clean and sauve?

Dear bro, i think its unnecessary to worry about any deposits because once the foreskin is removed, so too will any desposits since they would only cling on to the skin, not the muscle (penis). If i am not wrong, it is also the surgeon's duty will clean up your penis and make it look presentable after the surgery. You will immediately find your penis looking shinny and tender, without the forekin.

I was covered under Health Shield - enhanced - premium was paid by medisave.

I just did mine at Gleneagles - it was an urgent case (infection on foreskin).
A Renown urologist did the cut, charges: $2500++
Gleneagles charge $2000++
Consultation + follow up + dressing + HIV & STD test: $1000++

I have to paid cash up front first, then claim thru the hospital.
Manage to claim all charges back ($5000++) except for the HIV and STD test(I didn't submit for fear it might affect the main claim).

It was a slow recovery for me, will post about my experience another day, rested 5 weeks at home, 1st PCC was 10 weeks after op, is this consider very slow?

Im 30 years old and I just did a circumcision yesterday at NUH.

The doctor bandage the area up but the bandage came off this morning. Was told to wash the wound with the special solution they provided, and pat it dry after that. This must be done 2 times a day.

so far so good, minimal bleeding but i think the shaft is a bit swollen. But dick head is sensitive like siao and I cant walk normally.. is this normal?

Normal lah.
I can't walk normal for 2-3 weeks w/o the bandage.
The washing is important, do not skip.
If you really need to go out, put a similar bandage around it, but let it "air" in the night.

Take care! first week very important.

the doctor only bandage it up after the surgery, then told me it will automatically fall off and till then dont wet the bandage..
but Day 2 the bandage auto came out and i have nothing covering it now..
So now I wash the area with the special solution 2 times a day and carefully dry it before wearing back my loose boxers...

but it seems the underside of the shaft is quite swollen..

with some bleeding at the stitches..

Brothers, how many more days till the swelling will subside?
any idea?

thanks !

Cignobilis · #**1482** 20-03-2015, 05:29 PM

recovery depends on individual.
The swelling and discharge will subside in 7-10days for most people.

Really have to take care of the underside.
Take care

Laser - lesser pain & faster healing (My 2 yrs old son come out smiling)
Traditional - Damn bloody painful and longer healing period (Damn suay my time)

Shuda · #**1485** 24-03-2015, 11:04 PM

i did traditional way, Day 7 since surgery, its not very painful but need to constantly keep a lookout for your wound. And I read recovery process is longgg...

There will be bleeding and the stitch area will swell..
Medical expense for surgery can be paid through Medisave.

I remember earlier in the thread, a kind bro posted his experience on Laser method, maybe you might want to check that out...
