-daily 5-6 chamomille bath only for the wound. (i do pour some tea into a cup and put it in there for 10-15m) feels like the stiches are already getting softer
My problem is that I checked around 10 posts already on this site and some people were on 4th and 7th day and already had no swollennes. I got a little concerned because I have a huge swollen edema on the left side of my penis. Some bleeding happened today too altough it wasnt too much. Some yellow discharge also came out of the stiches and on the frenulum has some dried blood on it but not too much. It is full of fluids (water?) and under the skin awell, are also a lot of fluids and it is swollen. I am not able to wear clothes yet because of this. The glans are getting more insestivite day by day (which was my biggest concern) but now im more concerned about these edemas. Anyone had this before and could give me some tips? Im doing my best to hold them upright and i drink 3+ liters of water a day.

They are not very supportive....they are telling me that im the "first" to have pain and unable to wear underwear. They were an expensive private clinic and still very unprofessional patient caretaking.
For the sensitivity, can you wear something around your penis? For my swelling after my procedure, my doctor recommended I wrap the penis gently from head to base with an elastic bandage similar to what you would use to wrap a sprained ankle. This kept the fluid from building up. You could try it for an hour or so to see if it is comfortable for you.. You obviously never want to wrap it so tightly that you cut off blood flow. Gentle pressure is key and why I recommend doing it for a short period so you can un wrap and check the appearance of your penis. Purple is a bad color.. The penis skin will Wrinkles and fold. That is normal. If your incision wound is still very fresh and not closed up, then don't do this as you don't want to disturb any skin closure that has already occurred.. Try wrapping your penis in a few weeks after the skin is closed.. Just know that swelling is completely normal and that for the next 6-12 weeks, you are not going to be very comfortable or look picture perfect down there... It takes time. My doctor said full healing is done is about 1 year but that the scar tissue matures and continues to improve and fade for 1-3 years depending on the person.
Wrapping would also protect your head from getting all the stimulation.. You can work on the sensitivity problem later on in a more controlled manor if you wish. Time will help with that.
Do you feel that all the tea baths you are doing is drying out the skin on your penis? While the wound is healing, soaking it to many times in a day may be too much intervention unless your doctor tells you to do this. I tried those salt baths that people on here swear by and it really irritated my wound. Dried it out and made it itchy. My doctor told me not to do them. But if you are healing like you should, then do what works for you.
Everybody heals differently and swelling goes down at different times. I saw some guy that still has swelling after 7 months. but 3 months is the most common from what i’ve heard.
