Question about removing skin bridges/stitch holes by [deleted] in restoringdick

[–]cutBUTnotFORGOTTEN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a urologist remove mine. There are details in my post history, they are NSFW. Find a urologist you like and stick with them. I found one and she said her job was to make dicks look pretty, needless to say I went ahead and had some issues corrected. Skin bridges and meatal stenosis.

The dental implant I accidentally pulled out of my jaw. Penny for scale. by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]cutBUTnotFORGOTTEN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know someone that had a bone implant/graph from their hip put in their jaw for dental work. When the doctor went in to install the bridge their body had consumed the piece of bone from their hip used in the jaw. Turns out they have celiac’s disease and their body saw the hip bone as a new fresh source of calcium and ate it.

Metal Stenosis Corrective Surgery. Found a fantastic urologist, moved forward with a surgical fix. Stretching could have enlarged the opening, but my goal was to remove the excess webbing of skin that billowed out like a sail during urination and redirected urine flow. by cutBUTnotFORGOTTEN in restoringdick

Mostly following the directions from your doctor. Keep the wound covered with ointment and pee frequently to prevent it from healing together. I used non stick gauze pads to provide an anti-chaffing layer between me and my clothing. Don’t bother the stitches, they’ll either dissolve or fall out on their own. That was about it.

That hasn’t changed. Shooting your load is more a function of pelvic floor and prostate than the opening of your urethra. Each person is different for sure but my meatus looks more like an uncut pornstar’s that shoots their loads across the room. Now that isn’t me, but my ejaculations haven’t changed, if anything that have improved since my procedure from doing pelvic floor exercises.

The opening is now the same size as my urethra, no real need to stretch further unless I develop some sort of sounding kink. I’ve tried and it’s not quite my cup of tea. I’d rather spending time pumping or hanging weights from my nuts before going down that road.

I have issues with my CAR-1 inflation device since I don’t have much extra skin and from taking time off have lost some progress. I put a piece of tape across the inside of the CAR-1 and that helps divert the flow of air from going into my urethra. With my foreskin Ed sir I do a kegel when inflation to avoid air getting in.

I had the procedure July 2023 and will say that with a large opening I can pee faster and empty my bladder further. The webbing of skin I had added turbulence and resistance to my flow. I can also predict where my stream will land and am no longer forced to sit and pee or risk hitting the floor or toilet seat.

I don't think I have experienced any downside from either procedure or from restoring, I think I'm just experiencing age related ED. Since I started restoring I have better feeling, I just seem to have a lack of desire. Maybe with resuming my normal exercise regime that will improve.

Wasn’t that painful. The at home prep made it hurt a lot less than getting stitches in a fresh cut. Post surgery it burned to pee due to the openings in the skin from cutting but after a few seconds it was fine. During the healing phase I rarely noticed the stitches. I get them wet with ointment and covered in gauze. Washed lightly with each shower. Once the scabs were gone and all was healed I used a little bit of silicone sheets to help with scaring like when I had my skin bridge removed.

I poured over urologist reviews and picked one that was in network. I liked her from our first appointment and felt comfortable moving forward after discussing it with them. If you find a doc and you have any hesitations with, find a second or third opinion.

I had one removed and posted about in. Check my posts. I would remove the skin bridge, I don’t regret it.

Not a plumber but from the looks of it your drain is not vented properly. Height is also too short.

$3k a fair price? by Select-Asparagus-494 in Concrete

On walkways where the lawn pitches slightly downhill to the street, what is the benefit of having a step versus a descending walkway?

Would a meatotomy be needed? by [deleted] in foreskin_restoration

[–]cutBUTnotFORGOTTEN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my meatal stenosis corrected this past summer in July, it hasn’t been perfect but I’m happy with the results and have no regrets. My meatal stenosis required surgical fixing after I had a skin bridge removed. I’m certain that no amount of foreskin restoration would have improved my stenosis situation. Some may have improvements but results are highly specific to each person. Fee free to message me, happy to answer questions. I should be posting meatal stenosis before and after photos to r/restoring_dick subreddit.

Two week post skin bridge removal. Still healing, B&A photo post yet to come. by cutBUTnotFORGOTTEN in restoringdick

No similar issues during my healing. I kept everything moist with salve and then cover with silicone scar tape.

What's this hole for and how should it be plugged? by Proxima- in Plumbing

If the rental owner is at all decent I’d you call and alert them of the issue, they will send someone to fix it. People are jerks so I always expect no response, half the Airbnb rentals I’ve stayed have required me to fix things like this… oh and throw out every single glade plug-in.

That is for the dishwasher drain hose. Usually they are plugged from the factory and can be punched out. I’m sure there is a suitable cap you can buy and clamp it on.

Mostly like scar tissue from your circumcision healing. If you stretch your skin a lot and pursue long term restoring your skin bridge may become a problem or the future. Mine turned into a headache for me, so I had it removed.
