Circumcision

[Paladin]

My little grandson is going for this op tomorrow. He's being knocked out for it and will be there all day and possibly late into the night. He also has a genetic heart problem so i'm really worried about the kid. I would take him myself but only allowed his Mum and no visitors.

Anyway, back on topic; What can he expect after he's out and home. Will it just sting a bit when he has a slash or is there pain/swelling (arf!) stitches?

thanks in advance to those real men who may, still, have the balls to talk about this in front of the whole world..

I hope everything goes well for your grandson and the family, and I'm sure it will be quite safe.

Not many will be able to answer your question though, because the operation generally happens at a very young age, and it therefore won't be remembered. I had it done when I was a baby, and I'd say it has been beneficial.

It’s a little uncomfortable wearing pants for a few days but not unbearable... eventually the exposed parts case harden ;-)

I had it done at 26 by the way when I was in the RAF.. so there’ll always be a little bit of me in Cyprus

The most important part is to make sure that they don't throw away the wrong bit.

Thinking of having this done myself. Anything to shorten it a bit tbh, sick of the fucking thing slapping about between my knees when I'm running.

I cant see any drawback to that

I saw a documentary on it once.

How would you know?

You have nothing to compare it with, now the guy who had it done at 26yo at least can do this, you not so much?

Dissapointed that after two pages of sage advice delivered with empathy and compassion the op hasn't expressed any gratitude.

I was circumcised as a child for medical reasons. It hasn't made my life any worse and infact I have had more than a few close up inspections of my scars. No knob cheese ever. Smeg free since 1994.

My youngest had it done when he was around 4 (20 years ago) and I don't remember him being overly traumatized by it. He had to have salt water baths every night to kill any potential infection, and think the stitches dissolved over a week or so rather than being removed. During one bathtime discussion, he asked when it would grow back......
