So it's going to be a month tomorrow since I got cut...
So my stitches have pretty much fallen out, maybe one more week and the others round the bottom will fully dissolve but that's going to take longer because of the swelling at the bottom. I feel really shit about this because out of all the research I did pre-circumcision, I didn't really see anything about this kind of swelling. I literally did everything I could to make sure the healing process went well, I ate well, kept it clean, bathed in sea salt water frequently, but this god damn swelling has only subsided a tiny bit. Sorry to sound dramatic but that's how I feel as I write this 🤷🏽♂️... Surgeon told me it could take up to 6 months? I get that my dick was literally battered for a good 45 minutes but that swelling has me worried because if that's liquid in there, how tf does that escape?
On the flip side the swelling has slightly gone down from 14 days ago so I can pull back the skin now although still a bit tight and still haven't had a fully 💯 throbbing boner yet because of the swelling. The head has desensitised well and I've started lifting again at the gym but still will wait a few more weeks minimum to train legs or do cardio.
Will post again at 6 weeks.

Thanks, man. I really bloody hope so but the swelling hasn't really gone down in the last 3 weeks, I know my frenulum got absolutely battered so maybe that's why the swelling is worse but I'll feel better once it remotely shows signs of going.
Are you squatting okay yeah? Been training all week which feels good.
you are a lucky fellow. Your swelling is no match for the herculean swell I am having. It has not changed its shape since 4 days. I am able to have erections though, and even masturbated by stroking the junction of the penis with the body, which might have delayed my recovery. But your skin above the glans looks pretty nice. Mine has become like a cap for the glans (not full cap, slight cap). I also have a lump on the underside. i would say my penis looks like the abomination from the incredible hulk movie. It is not good to look at and I get scared. The swelling cannot handle direct water pressure of the shower also. I just hope to be able to wear pants as soon as possible. I have been half naked since the day of the surgery. I tried wearing pants but sensitivity of the glans is just too much to handle. The scar line on the right looks a bit opened up and I can see clotted blood there but I am not worried about it that much. Let us both get well soon.
Week 3 over yesterday. Significant swelling still exists. I am taking as much rest as possible as it expedites recovery. The swelling has come down a lot as compared to just 4-5 days ago. I can't even believe it myself yet. I am positive. The doctor said it will take another 4-6 weeks for it to completely heal. As long as the pain ain't there, I don't mind.
