Hi Rolan,

The first 2 weeks after circumcision is not the best time to judge
precisely the outcome of a circumcision. The best time closest to
having a circumcision is when the doctor is near finished and asks
you to look. That’s the way we do 99% of our circumcisions. The
remaining 1% is for patients who insist on general anesthesia,
totally unnecessary. Sure large sutures like hawser (used to moor
ships) and deep tight bites can cause puckering.

There may be some inflammatory fibrosis that could restrict your
length temporarily but this should go away with time. If not you’ve
been overcut and that’s sad.

If you are young possibly with lots of erectile activity some of the
skin will stretch out. Use of Viagra nocturnally (before bed time)
may help.

Once there is no evidence of any bleeding (usually after 2 to 3
weeks), this is no longer a time to suppress erections but to
encourage erections.

Hoping this is of help. Sure wish your condition is just temporary,

Harold M. Reed, M.D.
