In how many days does the swelling around the incision mixes with the shaft of the penis?

Can anyone tell that in how many days does the swelling around the incision(where the stitches are made) becomes at par with the shaft of the penis?.....when it becomes plain with the shaft of the penis?

It can take anywhere from 3-4 weeks to 2 months and even after , the skin undergoes lots of changes to accomodate and merge better . Don't worry much about it merging and it should appear much much better after the swelling completely subsides . The scar mark eventually becomes smoothed out against the normal shaft skin so there shouldn't be any problem . All the best !

Should I not do sex until it merges with the shaft skin?

Ideally 6weeks is the time period to not have sex post operation . By then the skin should have apposed well it should be healing fine. In some cases , healing may delay and that's where I guess it's upto your judgement but I would say in most ppl after 6 weeks it should be fine . All the best !
