Circumcision: my experience
 

Greetings to all the brothers here. The topic of circumcision has been covered pretty well here but I thought I would describe my own personal experience to give some added input.

First of all, thanks to the bros who contributed to earlier discussion on the the topic as I found their thoughts very useful before I had my own operation.

My experience went like this...

Why I had it done:
I had been aware for some years that I had a problem with phimosis - where the foreskin is too long and tight to retract back over the head of the penis. To be perfectly honest, this didn't give me any problems at all. I never had infections or tearing. Sex was no problem, even without a condom. But I was aware that, medically speaking, it would be best if I had a circumsision. I kept putting it off for years and years until I finally decided to get it done about 10 days ago at the 'ripe old age' of 40...

Pre OP:
My GP referred me to a surgeon at SGH who turned out to be the head of surgery there. I had one consultation with him (cost $80) and he recommended that I go ahead with the procedure for hygenic purposes. The date of the 'snip' was fixed for about one month later.

The Op:
So, 9.00 am one Wednesday morning I reported in to the ambulatory surgical centre at SGH for my appointment with the knife. The surgery would be under general anesthetic, so I had to fast (no food and no liquid) from midnight the previous evening. At the reception I registered and paid $710 by NETS for the cost of the surgery.

I was led into the post operative resting area and instructed to change into the typical surgical gown. My belongings were put in a locker. They took my blood pressure and weight. Then I walked into the section where the operating theatres were. The staff are VERY kiasu and keep asking whethere you have taken any food or liquid since midnight. About 10am I walked into the operating theatre where I met the surgeon again and he explained possible risks: veins not sealing properly so that there might be excessive bleeding which would necessitate more surgery. I laid down on the operating table and the they attached the drip and injected the stuff that would send me into dreamland. (I was most nervous about beein unconscious!). They put a mask over my face and asked me to breathere deeply in and out... then I was been awoken by a gentle patting on the face and feeling fine - apart from a slight prickling sensation around my penis and numb mouth and throat. (This because of the local anasthetic they use when they put tubes down your throat while you are unconscious.)

After checking that all was okay, they wheeled me back on a trolley to the post operative area so that i could rest for about 2 hours. While Iwas lying there they gave me some Milo and a snack. A while later they gave me a single photocopied sheet explaining what I had to do to care for the wound.

About 3 hours after the op, a doctor came out to examine the wound. I could see nothing because of the dressing. He assured me that all was well and encouraged me to pee while I was still in the hospital to make sure that could do so comfortably. After that I was cleared to leave and given a 10-day hospitalisation leave MC. I had lunch with my girlfriend and took a taxi home.

Post Op:
I rested in bed at home and peed (carefully) as and when I needed to. (They had told me that the dressing would come off by itself in a couple of days.) Unfortunately, the dressing can get quite soaked with pee when you urinate so it gets very damp.

The next morning, when I went to pee, the dressing fell off and I saw my newly revealed glans (penis head) for the first time. Not nice! I could see the stitching and bloody scabs below the base of the glans where they stitched the wound up. The glans itself was very purply in colour, moist and swollen. And of course VERY delicate!

As per the written instructions, I washed my penis/wound in a a basin of water with a teaspoon of salt added. (I was supposed to do this after every time I peed.) I couldn't bear touching the head so I simply dipped it in the water and swirled it around. I let it 'air dry'.

The Recovery Process:
I won't kid you. Having a circumcision is NOT fun. But it really isn't that painful. Just VERY uncomfortable. I live alone so I was able to walk around my apartment naked, letting it all hang out. Any contact against the head of my penis was VERY uncomfortable so I had to arrange myself very carefully when I laid down to sleep. I had been given painkillers in capule form which I was to take very 6 hours for the first 24 hours and after that, as and when I needed them. I experienced little or no pain from the would itself but my exposed penis head was very sensitive. (A little bit like geeting an 'electric shock' as one brother described it in another thread.)

Day by day, things got a little better and less uncomfortable. I still found it hard to put on even baggy shorts though as I had to keep holding the material away from my penis.

Panic Stations!
I had my op on a Wednesday. On the following Sunday, I started to worry about the colour of my penis head which looked green in places. I noticed as well that the there was a yellowish coloured, dried pus around one part of the stiched wound. In a bit of a panic, I put on a pair of boxer briefs and baggy shorts and went to see the nearest GP. (Not the one who had initially referred me for the op.) The GP assured me that every thing was healing just fine. The pus was because of a minor infection (probably caused by the urine soaked dressing) and was considered perfectly normal. He told me that infection was already gone but gave me some anti-bacterial powder to put on the wound just in case.

Healing continues:
Day by day, my glans became less sensitive. The really only painful part of the process was on the second and third days after the operation. I had the usual nightly erections that all healthy males have and they hurt... I could feel the stitches pulling! But, after a few days, they stopped hurting.

10 days after the op, I can wear normal clothes and breifs and walk normally. Another 3 weeks or so and I shall be back in 'action' again... hehehe... :p

That's all I can think of at the moment. If any of you have any questions about my personal experience with circumcision, please ask and I'll do my best to answer them! Cheers. :)

Re: Circumcision: my experience
 

Great post... but I still prefer my uncircumsized cock...

Re: Circumcision: my experience
 

i had mine done on sep...
now i have a problem cumming....
although i had hj by ladies and i feel super shiok...
i juz cannot cumm....
and bro got similar experience...
it is very difficult to bear!

Re: Circumcision: my experience
 

hi soldier,

i did mine abt 10 yrs ago, after the operation, me enjoy sex more happily than before as the sensitivity is much GREATER.....shiok shiok shiok......

:D

Re: Circumcision: my experience
 

sounds terribly scary to me! er, i dont think i wanna put my didi in such a state of distress! but thanks for sharing your story!

Re: Circumcision: my experience
 

hi xiaohouzi, may i know before ur operation do u have this cumming problem? for me i had it done few months back, begining state feel a bit different but now totally ok liao, no probem cumming and functioning, nice day.

Re: Circumcision: my experience
 

My joke with my girlfriend is that when we get back to having sex again in a few weeks, my cock will effectively be a virgin again! (My first time ever having sex with an exposed glans) :D

I will let you know how it goes!

BTW, one thing I've had to do since the op is to alter my aim when peeing. My foreskin would make the pee go in one particular direction. So when i started peeing without it, I kept missing the toilet bowl!

Re: Circumcision: my experience
 

Bro, I won't kid you. For the 1st few days after my op, I was regretting getting it done. It was very uncomfortable and unpleasant. But now, 2 weeks after the op, I feel fine and have no problems. (My girlfriend likes the way my dick looks now too.)

If you can't retract your foreskin, you DO need to be circumsised or you may have health problems down the road. If you have no probs retracting your foreskin, then DON'T have the operation. It's not necessary to put yourself through the pain and discomfort.

ha ha, me same, but now can aim like marksman liao.

Re: Circumcision: my experience
 

Bro, do thank God that you got GA for the Ops and not LA....... ;)

Re: Circumcision: my experience
 

I heard from some fellow bros that the sensation of sex with a foreskin 'protected' penis head is indescribably wonderful, as the head remains very sensitive under foreskin cover... ?

I did my circumcision in Sec 1 (the surgeon 'soon bian' cut away my foreskin when I had another minor op). way before I had my first sex, so even sex has always been pleasurable I guess I will never hv chance in this life to experience the "indescribable" sensation... :'''(

Re: Circumcision: my experience
 

This is the sad part of life I guess, do it when you are young and avoid the embarrassment but never get the chance to feel the difference. Do it after puberty, experience sex but face the jeers from peers. No matter what just enjoy the sex now. ;)

Re: Circumcision: my experience
 

I have my done 20 years ago and never regret!

Re: Circumcision: my experience
 

it IS better to have it CUT! Prostitute advised me to cut. (Said will more shoik when BJ) My ex request me to cut (more hygenic)....

There is no indescribable sensation lah... :)

Re: Circumcision: my experience
 

Do you have to take blood test before the op?
I will be going under the knife next month.

Re: Circumcision: my experience
 

what blood test u referring? anyway there is no blood teat for mine, take care and nice day.

Re: Circumcision: my experience

Re: Circumcision: my experience

Re: Circumcision: my experience
 

think u have problem in cumming regarding got circumsize or not, of course circimise make people difficult to come at begining state, xiaohouzi, ur problem of not cumming i believe not because of the circumise, it all mental issue, that is a threat regarding difficult to cum, please make a search, and i also suggest u to see a doc for ur problem, the professional point of view can help, take care and nice day.

Re: Circumcision: my experience
 

Hi Bros,

need your guys expert advice,for the circumcision procedure,do i go GP first to get referral letter or can go straight to hospital like TTS?

uhm,anyone got any contacts for doctors who can provide the surgery and roughly how much,me wanna set aside some money hehe...but $710 as mentioned is it the norm or quite ex?...confirm 1 day outpatient right?thanks bros

Re: Circumcision: my experience
 

Yes, you do need a referral from your GP. My GP referred me to Dr Wong at SGH who happened to be the head of surgery there.

I can confirm that it is one day, outpatient. my day went as follows:

9.00am, report in for the op.

10am, snip!

10.45am, wake up from GA.

11am to 2pm, lie in bed recovering and waiting for the doc to check that all is well with the wound. Have milo and a simple snack.

2.15pm, have a pee to ensure that I can do so without problem.

3.00pm, discharged with 10 day hospitalisation leave.

Sorry but I forgot to update on the cost. My visit to the the GP: $20. My first consultation with Dr. Wong: $80. I was charged $710 upon entering the ambulatory surgical centre. They explained that they would either refund me the balance if the surgery cost less or invoice me for more if it cost more. (In case there were complications during the surgery.)

Last week I received a receipt telling me that the actual cost of the op was something like $390 and they included a cheque to refund the balance. I will have to see Dr. Wong for one final check-up to ensure that all is well which will probably cost me another $80. So, to sum up, the costs were like this:

Initial visit to GP: $20

1st visit to consultant: $20

Cost of Op plus pain medication: $390 (approx)

Final visit to consultant: $80

Total cost about: $570.

Not very cheap but when my dick is at stake I won't spare the expense! :D

BTW, I forgot to add the cost of visiting the GP when I had a minor alarm over the state of my dick (all turned out to be well). This was an additional $20.

Hope the above is useful!

you wank differently now right?

Re: Circumcision: my experience - update 15/12/04
 

Just to update the bros here on my circumcision experience. It is still less than one month after my op.

Please note that I don't like go into graphic detail about sex with my girlfriend because I feel that sex with your girlfriend/wife is a private matter. However, because I started this thread with the intention of giving as much information as possible to brothers who are considering having a circumcision, I have included a few details for the sake of giving as mich info as possible.

I tried jerking off on Sunday for the 1st time since the op. The head of my penis is still quite sensitive, expecially the ridge part. I had to pcc very carefully without too much force and eventually I came. I used a condom 'cos I knew there would be a lot of cum as i hadn't had sex for a month. I damn near filled the condom with cum! (I could have nearly opened my own sperm bank!) The cumming experience was good but a little painful.

Last night, I tried having sex with my girlfriend. I must say that since the circumcision, my penis seems to have gotten thicker, particularly the glans (head). I assume this was because the skin that covered the head before was gone so the glans could expand more. It felt really shiok inserting it into her and she commented that she could really feel the difference. (She felt tighter to me too.) I found that I couldn't thrust as hard or as fast as both she and I would have liked because of pain along the ridge of the glans on my penis. In the end, I finished off by masturbating her til she came. Overall, she described the experience as very satisfactory and that my penis felt different and better inside her. I didn't manage to cum because it hurt bonking her. Obviously I will continue trying and things should improve fairly quickly. I've been told that it can take from one month to 6 or more weeks before satisfactory bonking can take place. We'll see...

Hope the above update provides useful info for those of you considering getting this operation.

Re: Circumcision: my experience - update 15/12/04
 

nice to hear ur good outcome of circumise, u very brave , 1 month pcc liao, i pcc almost after 3 month from ops. suggest u better give ur "new dick" a few more months to recover as need time for the head to become more stable to fiction. nice day.

3 months!!!!!!
 

3 months before you PCC'd or had sex bro???? :eek: My Gawd! Your cum must have sprayed everywhere! My doc told me I would be 'back in action' around 4 to 6 weeks after the op. I'm fairly horny so I wanted to get back into action ASAP - and my gf is even hornier... There's no way I or my gf could have lasted 3 months before having sex! Oh well, we are all different I suppose. I shall continue trying over the next few weeks and see how long it takes for things to get back to normal. Cheers!

Re: Circumcision: my experience
 

Ya ... same here was advised to circumsize by most of the WLs i've bonked (thai / malaysian / PRC) ... all tell me the same thing ... actually my penis head is restricted by my foreskin ... if cut ... my penis can achieve it's full potential ...

Anti-climatically ... i still havn't gone for the snip cos i'm afraid of the pain ... :D

Re: Circumcision: my experience
