Brief Answer:
Are you on any pain medication!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this difficulty wearing any clothe after your circumcision. This is caused by constant irritation as the clothe comes in contact with the exposed surface. Ae you on any pain medications? If not, I will recommend that you take Tylenol for pain relief.

It normally takes about 5days for circumcision to stop hurting. Because of the severe pains and discomfort you have reported, I will suggest you get another bandage just to protect the sensitive borders from irritation by your clothes. You do not really need to go to the hospital for this is you have a protective bandage that you can cover up this area with. All should get settled by the 5th day for you to return to normal functioning.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
