It have now gone 3,5 months after Circumcision and it still swelled a lot.

It get little better over day when having it up and after sleeping it looks bad again. I sleep on stomach so it might be the reason.

Any Idea how what to do?

Will ice massage work?

Anyone else hade it swollen same me for lone time? and when did it get better?

I was thinking is because I sleep on stomach I get worse. On daytime it is always pointing up. Today I will try to sleep on my back, if I can :)

Get scared to hear from that other dud that have hade swollen for 7 month.

I’m still swollen, although less than you at 4 months and 9 days into the recovery. Check my profile to compare if you’d like. I’m not sure why it’s taking so long.

Mine isn’t a severe as yours and isn’t getting worse so I’ll hold out on going to a doctor for a few weeks.

Stitches fall of after 4 weeks. Not sure if is a Hight or low cut but not all foreskin is removed.

I did 2 things. Make longer string( name is not sure) and cut much of foreskin.

I did it in Sweden. Think not lucky same other people that have a very nice cut and nice stitches.

How is the swelling when erect? I would say going to the doc is a good idea and keeping it upright as much as you can should help as well. Also sleeping on the stomach is probably not a good idea either but it should continue to heal and youll be better in no time man

It looks more oki with a erection, but still little swelling.

Thanks for all comments!

I was at nurse today. Dr. have first time end of November. I will see Dr then.

Nurse tell me is normal and that it looks fine. No hard tissue.

She tell me no problem to have sex or masturbate, it can only be good if doing it careful because it will smooth skin and swallow up. Use white vaseline 2 times a day to make it smooth.

Also a good tips she give me that I have read about before. Is to take a cold towel and wrap it around penis, penis upwards and squeeze/press around penis for some minutes to force liquid to go down.

I will start trying this now and hope it get better soon.

Will replay when I have some good news.

Michael123321 in reply toGnutter

Good! I have tried the maneuvers and maintained the penis up and I can see that it is going slowly down (even if sometimes it come back again). I hope that it is just a matter of pacience.

Did it work?

I believe that the reason the swelling is lasting so long is because you appear to have the hour glass appearance indicative of leaving part of the ridge band intact. Notice the tight band below the inner skin.

Gnutter profile image
Gnutter in reply toAt1012

Yes true. I just post a update. And it getting better, but very slow.

At1012 profile image
At1012 in reply toGnutter

It looks painful. When you stroke the ridge band tissue, does it feel good?
