Extreme swelling after Dorsal Slit

NeedHelp101010101 profile image

On October 22 I had a dorsal slit procedure done. My doctor advised me to take the bandage off 2 days after surgery, and since I’ve taken it off, the foreskin has gotten extremely swollen and stuck behind the head. I am unable to pull the skin back over the head. It has been like this for over a week and swelling it still very bad. My doctor told me swelling will last 2-3 weeks, but I feel something is very wrong. It is not painful but and it doesn’t seem like it’s filled with any sort of pus, and I have no problem passing urine. But it is extremely swollen and I am unable to retract the foreskin back into its normal position. Please help me!!!!!!

Your doctor has already warned you about the swelling and you are still within the timeframe he gave you.

Yes, that is true. I am just making myself paranoid I think.
