Swelling after 1 Month - Circumcision

[EddieSharma]

Hi Guys,

I’m really stressed out, It’s been a month and my Swelling is almost same as the first day. Doc said it will go away but it doesn’t seem like. My surgeon is very unhelpful.

Can you guys give me some tips, Can i use some antibiotics to reduce the swelling?

Please guys help me I’m dying everyday whenever I look at it.

Hi, it’s still normal. It can even take 6 months to disappear ... also, are you a grower by any chance ? I am 15 days after the cut and I’m the same as you. My doctor was helpful and he explained me that this will indeed go away, but if not a minor surgery can fix the odema. I assume it’s under your glans and above the cut.

Hi Thanks for your response.

I'm 23 and Yes it's frenelum under the head (glans) you're right.

Thanks for the relief bro. I was so worried.

Thanks mate.

I'll follow up again after 15 days with you hopefully you'll recover soon.

You are welcome bro. I was also nervous till I talked to my doctor and then I also saw literally dozens of comments who have been in the same situation like you and me. All got resolved with happy end. ☺️It’s normal to be impatient too. My swelling is also going down so slowly that I can realise some reduction only after every 3-4 days. But we are getting there and it’s not causing any health issues. Yes, your swelling has the same location as my one too. I will keep you updated!

You really need to calm down and not stress out. We have had guys on the forum who have had residual swelling at 12 months! There is little more that your doctor/surgeon can say. It really is a matter of time. Antibiotics are only for bacterial infections and not a cure for everything. You do not appear to have an infection. Using them inappropriately may cause problems in the future.

Thanks Sir for your response really appreciate it. I think I'm being impatient. But I understand now.

Hi, It's all part of the healing process, i am in week 5 and almost overnight the swelling started to down and it is basically back to its normal size. I was worried and posted on here a few days ago about the swelling but it's all good. Give it time, Take care.

Hi Thanks for your response.

So you're saying you were same for the first 4 weeks and then it eventually started going down overnight?

I'd really appreciate your help bro.

[jasper325 in reply to EddieSharma]

Yes, Where before it was really swollen, the swelling has now gone down on its own. The only thing I have been doing is soak it in salty water twice a day to help with the healing process.

2 months post op and I still have swelling ring under glans and frenulum

[EddieSharma in reply to Dhhdjxhhd]

That doesn't sound good, is it reduced or same like the first day? And did you check with doctor?

[Dhhdjxhhd in reply to EddieSharma]

It’s reduced from the initial swelling. However, it’s lymphoedema and my Doc said it’s perfectly normal. Can take up to a year to diffuse. Common complication of circumcision as the lymph system has been severed during circumcision
