Perfectly normal. My swelling started on day 3 and peaked at around day 7 or 8. Swelling is usually well on its way to being gone at around 2 weeks but can be a bit longer until it's fully gone.

Nothing at all to worry about.

I'm 6 months post op now.

Mine been sore for 6 months going on 7 (swelling around the scar line and it's like a balloon underneath where the frenulum used to be). My urologist said I have Lymphedema and he said to give it a year and it will go away spontaneously....

I sure the hell hope so.

I pray it goes down within a week, it causes a lot of discomfort when wearing clothes to work. Any suggestions on how to wear my clothes without any discomfort? Today i had a soft clean cloth at the base of my underwear.. but was uncomfortable as hell... as theres this stitch on my frenulum

I used to put cotton tissues between my penis and underwear. My penis got used to that so I removed it and then it got used to the pants too. Always wear loose pants. I made the mistake to go to school with very tight ones. Never ever do it.
