swelling growing?

It's been nearly a month and a half since my circumcision, today I noticed my swelling has grown a bit and it looks big in general (on the right side, left side is half the size or even smaller) does it look normal? I have an appointment with urologist next week but should I be worried? I uploaded a pic

I think that’s normal but should still get it checked out. Can you let me know what he says?

Been to the hospital today for a review, swelling grew even more after my visit there (I suspect due to very thorough examination it was a bit irritated) but I was assured it's normal and expected and it may take a while for it to go down.

Having a swelling a month and a half post circumcision does not sound ok , but you should not be worried , the urologist can fix it , you just have to see him .

Post op complications are rare but do happen , by the looks of your photo is nothing serious.

Just dont be worried and panic all the time as that does not do it any good , in fact it might make it worse .

Not normal but nothing to worry about just wait for the appointment

People saying that it is not normal to have swelling a month after circumcision just probably healed faster than those that have. I have seen countless posts from people such as myself that are 7/8+weeks post op with swelling still.

I’m at 11 weeks with swelling still. It is going down slowly but surely.

Wetted ice cube as much as you can to massage it mate. 5 mins on every so often.

It will be fine. It’s still early days for you.

Not what you're looking for?
