Swollen shaft after circumcision

Hi everybody. Circumcised last wednesday, removed bandages 24h after surgery, It looked pretty well as seen in the pic. Next days, swelling has increased. No pain and no blood, but swollen shaft skin covers glans when sit or standing. When lying uncover. I keep penis upright, apart from this,, any advice about reducing swelling? I know It's difficult to know, but may be someone that has had similar appearance or issues could tell me if final result was a bare glans or partial covered one.. Thanks

Wait, there seems to be some inflammation. It should reduce, if not medicine should help

Hey, I’m going through the same thing right now. I would take some ibuprofen to keep the inflammation down and I would try icing your penis every hour for 20 minutes or so and I think this should help. Good luck with your recovery!

thanks Chris, thanks everybody. I've to said that there's no pain and almost no blood, and the frenulum area looks much better than many pics posted. It's only the shaft skin, that after day 2 swollen and cover part of the glans.

Chris, I dare to ask you if the swollen foreskin covered your glans similary to my pics.

Thank you again

long foreskin, couple balanitis, short frenulum, some ussues with sex..... Not a problem at all when younger but now at 52 I suppose skin lost elasticity. In fact I wasn't 100% necessary, at least now, but decided to go on solved anything and avoid future problems. Doctor told me that glans will remain always exposed. Not so sure now. Of course, It's very recent.

I had mine done the same day. Looks almost identical! I’d say my swelling is even worse though as I think I have been overdoing it on the walking front and creating a bit of friction.

Going to follow your progress as it seems we are in a similar boat!

I think it looks pretty good bud. Mine was 10 days ago and I still have a swallen shaft that's worse than yours. However my glans is completely exposed. Good luck recovering!
