Hello everyone I just wanted to share my recovery process after circumcision .

So this is how it looks when it's slightly erected.

Everything is fine except the swelling, I feel a bit pain around the swelling area.

Is this normal at 8 weeks cause it looks really wired or is it the final result of my circumcision ??

Can I get some advice people .

apologies to everyone I have annoyed.

Hey Jimmy, from what I can tell from the pics it's just edema. That's normal after a circumcision. Some guys have it more than others and takes more time to heal. It took me several months before the swelling was gone. Just be patient, at the end of the healing process everything will be fine and smooth again!

Yes it's a good sign and means your recovery is going well .

No I wouldn't say its "weird" at 8 months... But question, have you irritated it in any kind of way; did you masturbate to roughly, use an irritant soap, did you have an open cut that agitated the inner foreskin, have you excessively played with it or had sex, since your 6th week?

It doesn't look bad at all. Just give your penis 3 more weeks to calm itself down. If you are still swolen in your 11th week, then go see your urologist. However, DO NOT ENGAGE IN ANY SEXUAL ACTIVITY until your 11th week's self-analysis

Thanks for responding .

I've been playing with it since six weeks alot of masturbation and sex maybe that's the reason?

I'm on 9th week now so I'll slow down and let it rest .

I'll post after 11 weeks .

Thanks again

Stop playing with it that's disgusting wanking and sex and so unheigenic you should rest and massage only will take the swelling away and just kidding wanking is kk and never stop or sex or oral or pissing in outside we are guys it's what we do but on a serious note try massage like reverse jelquing good luck

I’m on week 11 and still swollen and a little sensitive underneath. I’m hoping another few months and the swelling will reduce.

Did you ever hard like a hard lump under the circumcision location under the shaft? Kinda like a hard ball like, maybe a vein?
