Almost a full month since circumcision operation

Hey guys! I am closing down on my first full month of circumcision and I have a few concerns.

1 is that idk if its swollen, but I have this noticeable chunk of flesh just all around my penis. It was much more worse before, the swollen part was sagging as if I literally had an extra pair of balls, but I just want to know if this is normal and if it will decrease to "blend in" with the rest of my penis.

2 is that I still have a lot of stitches poking out. I have looked at other cases and I noticed there were not many that still had stitches this far in the recovery. For the record, my stitches are dissolvable and again want to see if this is okay. I also have some stabbing that's coming off and yellow crusts too.

And the third concern is that just 2 days ago I noticed slight blood on the left side when almost all parts of the cut has stopped bleeding. Could this be just a simple scab that got scraped out, a torn stitch or an infection?

Thanks so much for the feedback!

In the picture I am pushing the flesh upward BTW so the wound is better seen

Hey man, if I were you I’d go back to the urologist. Stitches should have fallen by now, and it just looks doesn’t look right or it may just be the angle but try taking another pic without pushing the flesh up. Cheers bro

Yeah I'll post another one with a side pic. I have read some other cases and yes i do agree that it should be fallen out by now but I'm just not sure because my doc said it really really does take a long time for the stitches to dissolve.

I will go back to the urologist in 2 days, hope for the best and thanks so much

Its okay. Try to get rid of the stitches if they are lose.

Take another picture from a side angle; did your penile skin always look flabby like this since the surgery, or at what point did it start?

OK, I'll post another one with a side angle picture. Yeah it has always been this flabby, and at the bottom if I dont push it upwards it just sags down.

It still looks like a lot of extra skin there, and maybe a bit slow to heal. Have your doc take a look. I think I'd maybe have a different doc look at it if I were you.

So it's not swollen anymore you think but instead extra skin? When I become erect it does look a little better, the flesh doesn't look much so lumpy and more "blended" with the rest of my penis.

Okay I'll do exactly as that. Thank you sm

Take a side pic, without holding the skin up at all. Also, take a pic while erect. So, make 2 new posts in 8 minutes😆✌
