Suggest Treatment For Phimosis
I am 17 and was circumcised two days ago because of phimosis. The original stitching was lose and caused bleeding so I had it restitched today and the bleeding has been solved and I have had new dressing put on. The new dressing is a lot tighter which I feel is a good thing as the older dressing loosened and fell off but it is now interfering with my urethra and is causing difficulty and discomfort when I try to urinate. It is very very uncomfortable when I try to urinate and when the urine does come out it sprays in several directions. Have you any advice?

Hi,
Let the dressing be there.
You can get it removed in two days and then there should be no fear of recurrent bleeding.
Thereafter the discomfort will go.
But, presently it is better to bear the urinary discomfort for the cost of having a secure circumcision wound and it will heal better.
Take care,
