Circumcision swelling seems not to go down.

[Anonymous_76]

I was Circumcised in September 2017 and currently it is March 2018.I have a doubtful issue.My penis's shaft has a 1 inch portion which is swollen quite noticably and does not seem to reside.Is it an issue or is it natural,I visited my doc in Jan and he said it was normal,but I don't want to end up with disformed reproductive organ.Also,my penile seems to be erecte at an angle of 45° when erect, which seems a bit odd.BTW I got it done due to medical reasons (phimosis).

I am a 15 y/o please help and suggest any home remedies (the doc will once again probably say it's all right). Thanks in advance.

Do you have any pain from the swelling? Is it tender to touch? Or is it just the appearance that concerns you? Does there appear to be any fluid under the swelling? Is the swelling in the one inch immediately below the glans or further down the shaft? Is the swelling noticeable when flaccid and erect? I don't think the 45 degree erection is unusual. Sorry for the number of questions - trying to eliminate possible causes to help you.

Pain is only while I press it hardly.Tender?no.Appearance is also a concern.The one inch is below the point where incision was done(or you can say just below the shaft). Swelling is quite noticable in both the cases.

I just had an assessment of my penile few weeks ago.On these so called "po*n sites" they seem to have a perpendicular penis, so that made me wonder why does my penile not become like that.

Thanks for replying so quickly,feel free to ask more.

Btw the swelling is like this

:--=D where= is the swelling.

Also,the Swelling is highest near the glans and gradually fades in with the shaft like a slope.

I think you are going to have to wait until you can see a urologist to get an expert opinion. I would have thought the fact you are experiencing pain when you press it hard should get a doctor / urologist to think about its cause. It could be down to the degree of soft tissue damage from the circumcision and it just needs more time to heal. If the urologist suggests this, then I would ask them how much longer they would expect it to take. If it doesn't heal in this time then I'd go back and challenge them again. I'm only 8 days into my circumcision but I know that my friends that have had it done have commented that the shaft looks thicker after a circumcision than before and I can see that the way my circumcision has been done I could potentially have a thicker shaft nearer the glans than lower down, though only time will tell. I think your issue is one for a specialist urologist to advise on and I would get the urologist to focus on the pain issue and working on the cause of it. It doesn't sound like you have an infection though which would be the other cause of swelling. Hope this helps.

All right then, I'll wait and see what happens,thanks for the recommendations and suggestions.

[Anonymous_76 in reply to Cromwellian]

"I'm 8 days into my circumcision",what do you mean by this? Did you get Circumcised or are you been on this topic for 8 days?

[Anonymous_76 in reply to Anonymous_76]

Have* you been...

[Cromwellian in reply to Anonymous_76]

I was circumcised 8 days ago. I had it done for the same reason as you - phimosis.

[Anonymous_76 in reply to Cromwellian]

What age are you,are you a teen or an adult? Also, please keep me updated about how your healing process goes, best of luck m8

[Cromwellian in reply to Anonymous_76]

I hope you get it resolved too. I'm 55, married with two sons, 19 and 21.

[Anonymous_76 in reply to Cromwellian]

You are a full grown adult,with 2 children?Then why did you even get Circumcised?(No offense intended)

Btw did your intercourse hurt due to phimosis,also,did it even affect your sexual ability?

Did the skin not force itself back during penetration?

Also,if you ever performed copulation only for sole purpose of fulfilling your desire,did it not hurt?

Really curious, because I got Circumcised not due to any problem,but solely for the purpose of avoiding any sexual problems in the future, however,you seemed to be normally performing intercourse,so,why get Circumcised now?

[Cromwellian in reply to Anonymous_76]

I can understand that it may appear odd, but phimosis can impact people at any age. In my case I was finding it increasingly difficult and uncomfortable to retract the foreskin to keep the area underneath the glans clean. It was a problem that only started a year or so ago and was getting worse rather than better. When I saw a urologist they also said that I had balanitis. I had experienced some itchiness and decided that for the longer term, circumcision was the right decision for me on health grounds. (My father needed carers in the last two years of his life and they had difficulty cleaning his foreskin. I didn't want to be in a similar predicament later in life.) The phimosis was making sex more uncomfortable as well and although it was manageable, I could see a time coming when it would be critical and need a circumcision. I am sure you've made the right decision to be circumcised to avoid future problems.

You mean to say that,your foreskin did not cause any issue in your 20-50s.I see........ anyways,thanks for your effort in typing such lengthy answers and reading my thread.

Thank you!

(Since you seem to be experienced,is it okay to ask you anything regarding this matter? Feel free to say no if it is an issue,once again, thank you)

[Cromwellian in reply to Anonymous_76]

That's right I had no issues with the foreskin retracting from teenage years right through to 50s. I'll be happy to try and give advice where possible. The only problem I did experience in my 20s in the early stages of sexual intercourse was tearing the frenulum during sex. Thought my girlfriend was having a period until I realised I was the cause of the bloodbath! Doctor said it wasn't a big issue and to bathe it in salt water to help the healing. Didn't have a problem from then until the last year or so.

Your story sounds like mine. Circumcision due to phimosis at age 39 only a few months back recovery taking forever and still learning this new sensation of no foreskin . I kind of feel i caused my own phimosis though through the years. Im glad at least i can clean it easily and the itching sensation is gone

I currently have my board exams,so I can't indulge in any other activity for a month or so.Money is not at all an issue.Thanks for replying so quickly

[jamesmcallan]

[Anonymous_76 in reply to jamesmcallan]

Dunno man,all we can do is wait.either it goes down or our ding dong stays like that....

[Anonymous_76 in reply to jamesmcallan]

[Anonymous_76 in reply to jamesmcallan]

Seems legit.

I have mentioned on here before that I could not pull back until in my late Twenties and then the first time I had sex without a condom it pulled back naturally and was quite sore to begin with. From then until I had my Circumcision, due to Zoons Balantitis, at age 52, the foreskin would sometimes pull back sometimes it would not. I never forced it, just let nature take it's course. I had a very healthy sex life and three children. Being able to pull back is a benefit for cleaning but does not make any difference with regard to sex I do not think.

I am kinda in the same predicament, I had circumcision back in November and my penis still is a little swollen with a slight downward angle near the head. I must say the swollen section makes my lady friends reach climax much quicker (doggystyle)and they love how the swelling feels to them, but I actually have more pain during intercourse now after the circumcision due to the fact I think the doctor did not cut enough forskin off, so the for skin now is rolling back during the in stroke of intercourse, causing my girl to climax quicker. i think i may get it redone to have it more "aerodynamic" during intercourse, because I think it will be more pain for me down the road.

high and tight? or was it loose?

Hey man, has your swelling gone away?
