Day 3

This should be the last day with the bandages and the Freka-Cid (anti-septic) paste/cream/salbe.  Things were looking basically the same this morning, but a bit more swollen.  There are some bruises on the shaft of my penis, but I believe there are just from the injections.  Otherwise, no bruising at all.

Day 15

I think for the first time today I've noticed a reduction in swelling, which is a good thing.

I've also noticed that on the top side where the vein was taken out, it's as if the skin on top is stitched to the penis underneath and as such isn't movable at all.  I think the doctor mentioned this shortly after he showed me the job he had done, and I can kind of feel some stitch like material below it, but I really hope that this isn't permanent and it starts to be movable like the rest of the skin on my penis.

Wound at the back pretty much closed now which is good news.  I think in one week's time it will look at a lot better.  I might not update for a few days now because the changes aren't really noticeable.

Day 14

Two weeks now since I had my circumcision and things are looking pretty good I reckon. There was a little bit of seeping on the underside, but that seems to have scabbed up now.  I'm including a new side shot now which shows the swelling a lot better.

Day 13

I managed to masturbate for the first time last night which was a huge relief, and masturbated again tonight.  The tightness isn't as bad as I thought actually, it could be a bit tighter but it's still pretty good.

Everything is a lot better now that the stitches are out.  The wound at the back is still healing a bit and the swelling hasn't really changed, but it's all going well now.

Day 12

With all stitches removed, the back section has really closed up and everything is looking a lot better now.  I can see progress from day to day in every aspect except for the swelling, which is still as bad as ever.  I hope now that all the stitches are out it might accelerate the progress in that regard.

Someone on Inter-Circ suggested that I should use salt water to reduce the swelling, but seeing as the wound is still a little raw, I'm trying not to get it too wet.  If anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know.

The cut line looks a little uneven at some points, but I'm quite sure it's just the swelling, as on day one before that set in everything looked very straight.

With erections at night, I can tell that I really should have got another 1cm or maybe even 2cm removed.  We'll have to see the final result, but I don't think it's going to be as tight as I'd have liked.  My own fault though for telling the doctor to remove less than he himself suggested.

Day 11

During the day, I found everything much better with the stitches out.  I tried to wear nothing on my penis at all today, but half way in I decided to put back on the contraption that I've made to make sure that my penis doesn't rest on my scrotum so that more air got to the back section where the stitches were still in and the wound wasn't quite shut.

Tonight I removed the remaining stitches (ended up being 4 of them, one of which was pretty much degraded and just hanging there).  Swelling still the same as yesterday.

Day 10

I thought I would have another go at removing the stitches this morning, because I'm really getting sick of them.  This time we managed to get the hang of it (me and my wife), and managed to cut one side of the stitches that were still in and they came out really nicely.  Got around 10 of them out, and there is probably another 3 left in there, which I'll leave because they are near the wound opening at the back.  I'm sure I'll end up removing them in the next couple of days.

I can already see the holes where a number of the stitches were, so I'm glad I didn't wait any longer to take them out.

Here are some photos from after the stitches removal this morning.  The swelling you can see on one side is, I'm sure, due to the vein removal.  The vein actually ran up from the bottom, but then split with one side going left and one side going up and to the right.  The up and to the right one was the one causing trouble has been removed, I assume right back to the split point.  This seems to be causing the swelling of the other side of the vein.
