Complications after circumcision

Posted , 1 user is following.

Hi guys. 4 weeks ago I had a circumcision and frenulum removal due to phimosis. They used dissolvable stitches, including around the area where my frenulum was. The issue that I have now is that I don't know if this area where the frenulum was has properly heald. The earliest I can go to my urologist is next week and I tend to be a bit anxious about this, even if no pain or bleeding is happening. For the first 2-3 weeks, the cut with the sutures was covered with scabs and now that the stitches dissolved and the scabs disappeared, I see that the skin of the shaft that was stuck on my glands after the surgery on the place where my frenulum was has detached and now I have a "gap". The small remaining shaft skin that was part of the frenulum is detached. 

I have no pain, bleeding or any discomfort, other than what would usually be expected after a circumcision. My question is if this is normal or it is something that I should take care urgently, like before my next week's appointment with my urologist.

Note:

Please, no anti-circumcision discussion. I took the decision to circumcise fully aware of all the drawbacks and the debate between the pro- and anti-circ camps.
