NSFW Picture: Severe swelling over 3 weeks post circumcision.

I had my circumcision on Aug. 23, and today is Sep. 15. The pain is gone from erections and standing up, the bleeding has stopped, and the sensitivity, while still bad, is beginning to go down. The swelling, however, is still quite bad. There’s like a big ring between the stitch line and my glans that’s swollen up like a lions mane that doesn’t seem to be going down much. That part of my shaft definitely used to by smaller around than the head. Anyone else have the same experience?

Ngl mate my swelling went down by week 1 to day 10, your swelling should be way less then that by week three but too me it doesn't look like you haven't an infection, you might just be a bit unlucky taking more time to heal, I'd it's still that swollen by week 4 go see a doctor

Yeah, I went to the doctor 1 week after my surgery and he said that it looked like I was healing slower than normal, but that there was nothing that looked worrying, and that it wasn't infected or anything. He said just to wait it out. I have a follow up appointment that he scheduled for the 25th, so I guess I'll learn more then.

Let us know what the doctor says

When I get an erection there is a little separation between the head and the swollen part as the penis elongates, but the swollen part doesn't get smaller radially (smaller around). I'll try icing it to see if that helps with the swelling. Thanks.

Yeah, that's what I've been reading. It sucks that it takes so long. Lol. It's still pretty damn sensitive. If anything touches the head or the swollen part of the shaft it is very uncomfortable. Hopefully that sensitivity goes away fairly soon too.

I don’t think you should be worried. I’m on 8 weeks I’m still having a little of swelling on my lift which is slowly going down on its own but flat when erected

Should look nice when fully healed.

Not what you're looking for?
