Can you tell us how you did your glansectomy please.

Sure. All the way back in 2007 I had a subincision done down to the base, as you can see in the photos, so my urethra healing shut wasn't a concern.
I numbed just behind the ridge of the glans with EMLA cream, then cinched a zip-tie as tightly as I could around it, periodically pulling it tighter over the first hour, as the tissue became more compressed.
Once my glans was fully numb, I anchored two needles cross-wise through the zip-tie to hold it in place, cut off the glans, then cauterized the end with a hot knife.
I left the zip-tie on for two more days, then very carefully removed it. There was some bleeding, but it was manageable. I also had a 10-day course of antibiotics left over from a prior ear infection, and took those during the first 10 days of healing. Taking antibiotics without an active infection is usually ill-advised, particularly if you don't know what sort of infection you're dealing with, but some research indicated that the bacteria responsible for middle-ear infections tend to have the same gram stain as the bacteria responsible for wound infections.
It took about two months for everything to fully heal, and that was that.

Everything you need to know and lots more are in his description. He did a great job explaining how things went for him and his future plans. Thank you so much for sharing.
