Circumcision!

[Paulpayne]

Any thing that can help me with fast healing and fast reduction of swelling after circumcision ?

Long soaks. To be fair, it will heal at its own speed.

There’s nothing you can do to speed up the healing process. Just follow instructions you will find on this blog.

Rest, dont do any heavy lifting, or exercises! Soak with salt water twice a day!

[Paulpayne in reply to Carl33]

Cooled or hot ?

[Carl33 in reply to Paulpayne]

Warm water with a tablespoon of table salt!

Putting salt in the wound? Doesn’t that stinggggggg

[Carl33 in reply to OPDAY]

You are only mixing one spoonful to warm water. So, no, not really!

[OPDAY in reply to Carl33]

I might have to try that.

I’m on day 5 and have only had 3 showers since my operation because it hurts. So I think doing this will help clean the area and promote faster healing.

[Carl33 in reply to OPDAY]

You might consider using 1/2 a spoonful at first to make sure it doesn’t sting, of course if that is a concern

To be honest I was given very little advice by the Doc' but found short shallow baths in warm salt water really helped. As has been said, we all heal differently so do not stress too much. A cold compress, not direct, may help, as should something like Ibuprofen.

Once you feel upto it, take a shower and let the jet play on the head a little at a time. This will help you become accustomed to touch.
