Does the glans get bigger after circumcision?
Does circumcision affect length? Technically, no. A circumcised penis can appear less bulky due to the loss of the foreskin, but penis size cannot be changed by losing a thin layer of skin. It is also important to note that penis size depends greatly on your genes, making it difficult to change through circumcision.
What does a normal circumcision look like?
At first, the incision (cut) will be red and the glans (head of the penis) will look like it has been scraped. The area may be tender, but this will lessen over the first couple of days. The penis may also have some redness and swelling and have some yellow pus on the head in particular for up to a couple of weeks.
What happens to glans after circumcision?
The penis normally becomes swollen after surgery. The swelling is usually greatest between the line of the circumcision and the ridge of the head of the penis. This skin has a different color and is usually pink. The swelling gets worse for the first few days after surgery and then slowly resolves.
What should a circumcision wound look like?

Does early circumcision reduce size?
The NMC group included 72 patients (29.0%) who were circumcised during the newborn period; the non-NMC group included 176 patients (71.0%) who were circumcised after the newborn period. There was no significant difference in height, weight, and second to fourth digit ratio between both groups (Table 3).
Why does my foreskin stick to my glans?
For a boy who hasn’t been circumcised, the foreskin may not be fully retractable until they’re older. Once the foreskin is able to be easily retracted, it may adhere to the glans if you or your child does not periodically gently retract it. Penile adhesions can also occur in grown men.
What is best age for circumcision?
Most religious traditions recommend an early circumcision. From our experience, we have seen the Plastibell method work best when a child is circumcised between the ages of one and three months old. This is the age that has been most comfortable for mother and child both during the operation and in the recovery period.
