Botched circumcision

I had a circumcision about 3 weeks ago, and I don't have the same penis. As described by someone else on this forum, I too was a grower not a shower. When I get erect, fluid fills around my shaft, and does not elongate my penis hardly at all. I was about 7 inches before and am lucky now if I am 4. It is short, stubby, fluid filled, and my erections hurt. I don't know how cutting a bit of skin and sewing back together can do this. Has anyone had this happen, and how can I fix it? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    Sounds to me like something you should be telling to the doctor who gave you the circumcision, as they are the ones liable if they truly "botched" it. At the very least, they could help you figure out why you are having the issues you are.

    You see the issue with doing this type of surgery is that it is on your penis- and the removal of highly erogenous issue that has thousands of nerves, lymphanics and even arteries. Even the slightest damage to the penis can cause it to swell. It isn't just a little piece of skin because it has more than 15 functions, so it's a bit more complex than being just a little piece of skin, especially when the adult foreskin removed during circumcision amounts to the size of a travel postcard. Let him heal for 6 weeks, take anti-inflammatories and keep the swelling down. Dont masterbate or do anything to excite yourself because it's only going to make it worse.

    Have lots of info on the subject so dont be afraid to ask questions.

      Thank you so much for the advice and uplifting words. I wrote this the day before I spoke with my doc about my worries. After he explained what he did, it makes sense as to why my morning wood was not as glorious as usual. I wonder if this is normal or just for us growers and not showers. I am definitely icing and taking Advil, and no masturbating attempts for sure. Again, thanks for your time and response, I appreciate it.

    Keep it elevated and if you can do a compression bandage do so. This involves the stretchy sports tape being wrapped around the entire penis except for your meatus. When you are healed wear tight underwear because being circumcised is linked to a 2.5 times greater chance of getting erectile dysfunction later in life so try to keep your head from being callused by preventing chaffing.
