I just got circumcised yesterday.How would it take to heal?


Question:
How long would it take for a teen to heal from circumcision?

Answers:
I feel your pain... literally!

I had it done about 3 years ago and it took about 2 months to heal completely... At times it looked like it wasn't going to, but it did in the end.

One thing I was told to do is make up some weak salt water solution and use that every day to clean it... it stings a little, but it helps the healing process, and it helps disinfect the area too.

A weak, black tea can also be used to speed up healing

(and both these options are cheaper than neosporin!)

Don't be surprised too if there is a minor secondary infection... It's very common and is easilty treated with anti biotics...

Good luck and don't worry too much... It will heal, just give it about 2 months.

Just for all of those out there giving us the whole bunch of crap about "why would you do that?!" "Your'e so vain!" "I'm moving to Canada becasue I hate how the US views the body image"... Wind your collective necks in will you?!

Did it EVER occur to you that some people have circumcisions, particularly later in life becasue of legitimate medical reasons?

Look up Phimosis with Google... And keep your venom to yourselves in future...
dude - sorry to hear that!
Why didn't you ask the doctor?

Good grief..call their office and ask.
Did nt your doctor tell you?

about a week or 2
depends on the person. put neosporin on it and it will heal 40% more quickly.
A couple weeks, but the doctor should have told you this, unless it was a home circumcision.Relax, rest, no porn!
why would you do that to yourself?

i just don't get it..

its a fact that its not more hygienic, it makes sex suck more for you. its a waist of time...and skin.

its as stupid as cutting your finger nails completely off. lol
was it worth it?
Take Vitamin and zinc tablets to accelerate healing. It should take around 10 days.
Good luck!
sorry dont know....coz i am a female !! hehehe
about a good two weeks. in a week the pain should stop and the swelling should reduce.
Yep, your an idiot.
congratulations!
your girlfriends and wife in the future will appreciate that.
Jesus. Stupid US and the dumbass expectations of how a man's penis should look. I think something like 80% of the rest of the world is NOT circumcised, so why does the US make people feel like they have to be? I'm moving to Canada where no one gives a ****. I'll support male circumcision when clitoral circumcision is commonplace. How about THAT, Supergirl? What if a guy said go ahead and mutilate your vagina and he'll be happy? You people should get used to seeing dicks before people take knives to them. BTW thank your parents for being reasonable and trying not to support a ridiculous custom.
about two weeks. might be three until you're ready to "test drive" your new unit. just let the pain be your guide.
just call your doctors office and ask the nurse. i would not apply anything or do anything that my doctor or pharmacist did not tell me to do. they are professionals and i would trust them and follow their instructions. good luck / take care.
Oh that sucks...

Now you're gonna have less pleasure during sex.
You're gonna come faster than women want you to.

You had it yesterday!

Boy, that sucks.
You're gonna regret.
