Circumcision recovery

Does icing actually help the swelling go down. Wouldn’t this slow the process of recovering. Doctor after the OP just said to wash it with antibacterial soap and water... Im a 21 y/o just in case age matters for recov.

It looks as if it is only of use in the early stages. Please see 2ddfc540u6bj39m9dx128fas-wp...

Wear snug fitting briefs and keep the penis upright as much as possible.

Gravity helps reduce the swelling much faster.

Ice won't hurt, just don't do it directly on your skin.

No, if you research it you'll find that ice application is only of benefit on sprains and bruises (apart from the first 48 hours as per Osidge's link)
