Tips for reducing sensitivity post-op

NSFWGlans Sensitivity

I (19m) went through with the procedure 4 days ago and recovery seems to be going pretty normally so far. I had it done due to severe (stage 4) phimosis, so the glans had never been exposed before. The sensitivity has definitely been the hardest part of recovery,as expected haha

I was just wondering if anyone has any tips for speeding up the desensitisation process. I'm not really looking for tips on managing it day to day, as I'm already able to wear underwear and shorts all day and sleep with them on (although glans are still very uncomfortable and I'm not walking full speed). I'm more wondering if there's anything that actually helps the nerves adapt faster, or if it's really just a waiting game.

Also happy to answer any questions for anyone who has phimosis and is considering!
