Post circumcision

When is the average time that the penis will not be swollen anymore after circumcision? It’s been almost 2 months for me and it is still swollen around the incision. Also any tips to reduce swelling?

Most swelling should go away in the first 4 weeks after post op. But it also depends on the kind of swelling ... whole penis, just incision part, something else? If it is the incision part, the place where the stitches were, swelling can take the longest to subside, also around the frenulum area. Those parts can in some cases take several months.

Yes it’s only around the incision part

Yeah I wouldn't worry about it too much. It takes a while to subside and it takes way longer to look "normal" in this case normal is what it looks like with people that got circumcised when babies :P.

My swelling disappeared after 4 days. Are months not too much? Dip it in salty water for more than 10 minutes. it will reduce immediately.

Not what you're looking for?
