It is perfectly normal to have swelling for several weeks after circumcision. It will be especially noticeable in the first 2 weeks. Remember that healing is a slow process and will take 6-8 weeks to complete.

Yeah first week sucks.

Long as your not bleeding your fine

Another person below stated it well. You had minor surgery and it will take time to fully heal and it will heal. I would agree 6-8 weeks but longer for full scar formation and keratinization of the glans. Give it the time and you will be fine-best of lick

Any surgery takes time to heal. My though is also how much skin was removed in your circumcision. Swelling is normal and varies and yes the first few weeks are difficult. If dissolvable sutures let them fall out, if not your Dr will remove them. Please do not pull them out. Usually 10-14 days or so depending on type -I hope you have quick healing and best of heath
