6 weeks post circumcision (bump below head/frenulum)

Hi there

I got circumcised 6 weeks ago, the wound has healed pretty much however there is still a significant amount of swelling (mainly below the head/frenulum). I was told it will take 6-8 weeks to heal, but it doesn’t seem to be subsiding as of now.

Could anyone please let me know what I must do about it. The doctor has advised me to just not do anything and wait for it to subside with time, but I’m just worried how long will that take.

Thanks buddy, although I haven't had sex at all ever since the operation...

But its of consolation to know I'm not alone. Hope you recover soon!

The swelling associated with a circumcision can go on for as long as a year.

Thanks Osidge for the input.

I was told by a few friends they recovered in a month or two at most, hence was wondering why is my progress so slow?

Do you think the cut is maybe messed up or is it just my healing process just slower in general?

Everyone has their own post surgery journey. Yours may just be longer than your mates.

It will probably go down with time. That unevenness might stay but it will probably go down within 2 months from now. You're lucky your frenelum is intact or did they cut it? Did you have phimosis before? Looks pretty good for only 6 weeks. Some guys have way more swelling than you.

Yes decided to get circumcised due to phimosis itself. Thanks for the feedback relieved to hear that.
