Circumsised 2 days ago, swelling and bruising normal?

[AbsolutelyBrickingIt]

Circumsised 2 days ago, is this level of swelling normal? Does this look particular bad, normal or anything unusual?

It doesn't hurt that much, most of my shaft feels numb.

A lot of swelling is normal. I couldnt even see the head of my penis for like 2 weeks until some of the swelling went down.

Thanks for the reply mate, how long did it take until you went about your day and forgot you were circumcised completely?

[SayyKenn in reply to AbsolutelyBrickingIt]

I havent gotten to that point yet bcuz everyday activities remind me from my penis rubbing inside my boxers n because its still kinda swollen it heavy.

I'm on 6th day and most of my shaft feels numb i hope thats normal! but I'm bandaged aswell

[AbsolutelyBrickingIt in reply to Fallen13]

I was told to take my bandage off the day afterwards

[Fallen13 in reply to AbsolutelyBrickingIt]

I was told to use bandages for 1 week my doctor is an old timer. Also is the shaft suppost to be numb?

[AbsolutelyBrickingIt in reply to Fallen13]

I have no idea, mine is slightly numb. I'm assuming it's down to a lot of the nerves being damaged, it'll come back I'm sure

Yea abit later i guess. how are u handling erection tho? It's horrible tbh

[AbsolutelyBrickingIt in reply to Fallen13]

That's my biggest issue right now, 5 days in and lack of sleep is really starting to mess with me. Have a feeling the longer I've gone without, the more frequent the erections are going to be.

You can support the incision line by using strips of surgical tape over it. Then the wound edges won't open when you had erections. It is suggested to use gauze until there is no discharge on wound anymore.
