Circumcision swelling 7 weeks

[Cosma]

Hello! After a diagnosis of lichen sclerosus and a history of tight foreskin, I was circumcised on the 29th of March. The operation went well and I started recovering pretty quickly. The initial swelling went down soon and the area became completely dry on week 5-6. At the moment, the cut line is healed, even though some part are redder.

At the beginning of week 6, I masturbated by massaging my prostate and I had no pain in doing so. However, minutes later, the ring between my incision line and gland had swollen up. It’s been a few days since then and, although most of the swelling has become smaller, the right side of the ring is still swollen. At this point, I am worried that I have given myself a permanent swelling. I have been trying cold and hot compress and massage but nothing seems to change. Any help/advice? Thank you.

It's been a few days. How is everything going?

The swelling eventually went down! Still can get swollen at times but it’s part of the healing process

Good to hear man! Do you only get swollen when you mastrurbate or have sex?
