I had a Circumcision on 13th Jan 24 and everything went well, the would was also healing very quickly, swelling came down to almost normal.

but on 22nd I noticed that there is some which thick deposition under the gals and near the frenulum part of stitches. First I thought it was the cream deposition which I have been applying T-Bact. But then next day it looked like its some infection.

I consulted the doctor and he said its a mild infection and asked me to continue with T-Bact and prescribed Linid-600 mg as antibiotic.

Today I see that the swelling has increased back .

This is looking scary to me , any suggestions ..... has the doctor told the right thing or should i consult other GP. IS it penile necrosis , how should the treatment go

Get back to the doctor for advice. You shouldn't self-diagnose or jump to conclusions. Remember you are taking an antibiotic and aplyling an antibiotic ointment so the infection should be under control. In my experience with antibiotics they take a few days to work and show results. Hope it improves very soon.

After I checked with my surgeon two days bac. Today morning as I woke up in morning, I had some erections , but as i went to pee, I saw some blood dropping from my penis. 4-5 big drops , I immediately pressed my penis with sterile cotton and then the bleeding stopped. The blood which actually fell from my penis was a bit sticky in nature.

Later in the day I ded not have any bleeding but in my under pants I saw some whitish yellow droplets of discharge.

Now The point is that I was not able to see/find out where did that blood actually come from i.e which part of my penis

Also there was no place of pus discharge from my penis.

I went to the surgeon he says everything is looking okay.

I am scared about the infection it should not grow up. Swelling is there but light. Anyone can guide me

Your doctor should take a swab test to see what bacteria is causing the infection and what antibiotic will work. Taking antibiotics without testing is like roulette, u don't know if it will work.

Not what you're looking for?
