Men's Health :: Slow Healing After Adult Circumcision?
Hi, so I am now 19 years old, and I got circumcised two years ago, when I was 17, because I had phimosis.
Though the scarred area should be long healed by now, I think mine has been very slow. It is still a little red, especially when I get erections, and there are still marks from the stitches.
I would like to change this and make it fully blended, and I was wondering how can I do this?
I did use an antiseptic cream for a while, till I later found out that this can slow the healing process. Could this be the main reason?
Also, if I use Vaseline petroleum jelly, would that be helpful at this point.
Thanks.
Painful Healing Ridge After Tubal Reversal
I had my tubal reversal last wed JUNE 29th. Since then I have the worst swelling and a very nasty hard long bump under my incision. It looks like some sort of a healing ridge! I was just wondering if anyone else has gotten this and does it go away?
View 1 RepliesAdult Circumcision - Partial Cuts?
I'm 22 (going on 23 in August) and I'm going in for my circumcision due to phimosis in exactly a week. After doing a ton of research and viewing the pros and cons of circumcised vs uncircumcised, I've decided to go with a partial cut if I end up going through with it since it's said to be the best of both worlds.
I spoke with my doctor and I told him that I wanted a partial cut, but it seemed like he didn't know what it was exactly, so I described it to him. I said that I only want enough foreskin taken off so I won't have phimosis and I want my frenulum untouched because to my understanding it is the most sensitive part of the penis. He then told me that he can do that and leave the frenulum; but they'd have to cut through my frenulum if I want any foreskin taken off and they'd stitch it back together. Or if I didn't want that, they can cut my foreskin open a bit so I can pull the skin back.
So I have a couple of questions.
1. For partial cuts, do they usually cut the frenulum and stitch it back together? and will I lose sensitivity if it's cut and stitched back together?
2. Has anyone heard urologists cutting the foreskin cut open just enough to pull the skin back? you're technically still uncircumcised and I don't know how it looks.
Penis :: Burning At Urination - Adult Circumcision At 63?
I am a 63 year old male. For several years I have had burning in my penis during and after urination. Burning is not severe, just annoying and I am afraid it will turn into something more serious. Burning goes away maybe an hour after I urinate. I have seen several Urologists and none can find cause of problem. I am uncircumcised. Last Urologist I saw suggested that I might want to consider having a circumcision. I was surprised because no other Urologist had ever made this suggestion as a cure for my problem. I'm hoping someone can offer some insight into my problem.

Penis :: Circumcision Scar Line Bumps
So I've been circumcised for medical reasons when I was an infant, but I'm realizing recently that my circumcision scar line might be kind of abnormal. It has always been this way, but the scar area is very slightly darker and raised with some bumpiness. It is completely painless. I have never had sex so I don't know how I would've gotten an STI, and like I've said it's been there for as long as I can remember. Please let me know your thoughts/if this is anything I should worry about!

I'm 24 but there are many things that make me think the last 10 years were all a dream and I'm actually still 14.
- I never grow a single facial hair, so never used a razor on my face to this day.
- My voice didn't change too much, many people still mistake me for a female on the phone.
- My manhood hasn't grown in size, so I still have a D the size of a 12 years old (HAHAHA).
- To compensate for the previous point, fortunately I don't have any libido either. I have no desire to sleep with women, and have zero interest in what other men are obsessed with (porn, sex, etc), pretty much like most pre-puberty boys.
- I have abnormally thin arms like children's, even though I workout frequently, the muscles just don't seem to grow there.
- My face is still that of a 15 yrs old. Though maybe that's just because I have a babyface...?

View 4 RepliesVaginal Health :: Small Ridge Of Bone On Entrance, Pubic Bone?
My vagina opening is wide enough to fit a tampon, which i've done on many occasions however, anything larger than this and it doesn't seem to stretch anymore. The actual skin can stretch fine and does but at the opening is a small ridge of bone. Once you reach past this bit of bone, inside the vagina it can stretch fine, it's just that one ridge, i can put my finger round it and hook it but I can't actually move the bone (obviously)So my problem is just that when I come to having sex, nothing will fit. I think this bone is the pubic bone which is just sunk down too far. I can also feel it right behind my clitoris and urethra opening like everything has been squashed down into one small area. It doesnt come very far up on my front 'mound' but comes too far down underneath in my vaginal area.Is this normal? Has anyone experienced this? What should I do?

View 1 RepliesPainful And Swollen Nose Bridge
Sunday evening I felt pain in my nose as if I'm getting a pimple. I work up Monday morning feeling like I got punched in the nose and my bridge was swollen and painful. I have been sneezing from allergies all week so its possible I got an infection. I was also picking on my blackheads so it could have come from anywhere. I went to the doctors office and saw a physician's assistant she suspects is cellulitis. She prescribed bactrim but I am petrified of taking any antibiotics because I am a highly allergic person. I'm allergies to most foods that I have a very limited diet so scared. I have no fever. For now I've been using saline spray rinse and neosporin outside my nose. The pain subsided about 10% after 24 hours but I still have a ton of pain. I read from forums that nasal cellulitis can lead to blood or brain infection so since I'm scared if taking antibiotics because if adverse affect I don't what to do. I'm damned if I take antibiotics I'm damned if I don't. Does here here experienced this and didn't need antibiotics?

Hi! I am a 23 year old female. 3 days ago I felt irritation in my vaginal area. I looked at it and I have a swollen lump in the front area of my labia minora, like near my clitoris. It feels like it has fluid inside, and it is the same color as the skin around it. I'd say it is the size of a small marble. It is very annoying and I am getting concerned since it hasn't gone away yet. My period also started that day so I'm not sure if it has anything to do with it.

View 1 RepliesArthritis :: 1st Knuckle On Index Finger Is Pretty Swollen / Stiff And Fairly Painful
I have had this for over a week, and it seems to be getting worse. I am 33 and in very good health.
The 1st knuckle on my index finger is pretty swollen, stiff and has a fair amount of pain when I bend or touch it. I have already been to urgent care, and was told it was not infected due to no heat or redness. I was given Ibuprofen and a splint, told to follow up tomorrow if no improvement. They sugest bloodwork to test for uric acid or arthritis. he said possibly gout, but that is usually more painful. I do eat a high red meat diet, with higher purine foods- ie aspargus and beans.
I do not recall injuring it enough to cause anything like this. i do crick my knuckles- old habit I am slowly breaking- but that has never given me problems either. I have started cold compress today and occasional war, Ill see what that does.
