You can expect to have considerable swelling for at least 2 weeks and reducing amounts at least to 8 weeks, and possibly longer.

The swelling makes your penis look shorter than it really is. True length will return when healing is complete.

Thanks mate, I was so worry yesterday when I took off the dressing, too much blood but Im glad it stop after that

Nothing to worry about mate, you'll experience all sorts of new stuff during the healing process (painful nocturnal erection, peeing in all directions, swelling, ...) all be better with each day. I'm only on day 11 but stress and worries of day 2 are distant memory. Try to rest as much as possible and worry as little as possible. Wish you a speedy recovery!

No worries gentleman. It's hard to tell what really works, I even tried to stay up one night, but I guess body has it's own clock, I literally got erections every hour and a half. My main worries were if erections can damage stitches or open the wound in such an early stage, but no, it's nothing to stress yourself about.

Healing process and dealing with pain is different from men to men, what helped me with this situation is I drank tea only in the morning, drinking only water during the day, and not drinking after 6pm, sleeping on the side in fetal position. It also helps that you get up when erection happens and start walking around, this way the blood will circulate to your legs.

For me erections stopped being painful on day 6, till day 8 they were just slightly uncomfortable (enough to wake me up, but not painful), day 9 to now I still wake up with at least 1 nocturnal erection, but that's mainly because I developed bad sleeping pattern due to painful nights over the past week. I am actually at the point now where the relief is much needed, and that is keeping me awake. I try as hell to keep my hands to myself but that's the different story. 🤒

What works for other might not work for you, some heal faster some longer, but you got enough time to figure it out for yourself, it sure does get better with each day, I look forward to hear from you how you're feeling on your 11th Day!
