Circumcision Stitches and Erection; basically everything?!


Question:

Circumcision Stitches and Erection; basically everything?

So basically I'm wondering when the stitches will melt and go away or "absorb" after circumcision.

And also it hurts when I have an erection, and I'm wondering when the pain will stop when I have erections.

If it helps, I'm 14 and was circumcised 3 days ago.

Those are the main two things I'm focusing on, but I can always appreciate extra details or information, such as your personal experience in all parts(I.e swelling, stitches, pain, etc).


Answers:

It depends on the kind of stitches. Some stitches don't dissolve and have to be removed after 2-3 weeks or so. Most stitches now will dissolve, but it takes like 3-4 weeks for that to happen.

Erections are probably painful for one of two reasons (or both). Either your erections are pulling on the stitches and cause pain. Or too much skin has been removed and thus is pulling on the stitches too much, causing pain. The pain should disappear when the wound has fully healed (usually about 2-3 weeks) and the stitches have been removed/dissolved. If it still hurts after it's fully healed, then too much skin has probably been removed and you have to just bear it and wait for the skin to stretch out until it's comfortable (which can take months to years).

Also, until it fully heals you should remember to not masturbate or anything, as that could rip out the stitches and things will get really painful and really messy. It could be a rough and annoying 2-3 weeks.
