3 months, length, scar, lymph issues - post circumcision

Hey all, I really appreciate this forums help thus far. I was wondering if anyone with this past experience can give me some advise as I’m quite stressed.

I’m 35 and had a circumcision 3 months ago, scar line is healing slowly but its still not soft and fully flexible yet like my other skin, is this normal? Also my size is still not 100% back to normal, does it return? Lastly, I have slight lymphoedema on my penis due to the surgery, it gets better then after sex etc gets puffy again, anyone have any advise to speed up the healing process for this and does it ever resolve?

Honestly any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Hi, it all sounds like normal progression to me. Mine wasn't 100% there until about 9 months on ALL the things you mentioned. (I'm not just being kind bro, if I thought it was going to stay small then drop off I'd tell you 😂)

Hi mate, do you know why yours took 9 months to get length back? Like what was the hold up, scar line?

Oh, sorry mate. It didn't all take 9 months, the length was quicker than that. Maybe 3 months, I meant it was finally settled to how it was permanently until about 9 months. The strange thing about length is that a lot of it is appearance rather than actual loss. Have you measured before and after? II honestly believe if circumcision made your dick shorter it would have died out years ago!

Hey buddy,

I'm a few days under the 6 month mark post OP. I was actually about to make a post again, but I might wait a bit. The slight swelling sounds normal, therefore you should be ok there. My frenulum area and right side of the scar line is finally flattening out. It's the best it has ever been.

Unfortunately, I haven't gotten my length back yet and I still have curvature that wasn't there before (I had an unusually straight penis prior). But I'm keeping an eye on it and trying to stretch it out over time to see if it improves. I wish it was faster and that I could help you feel better about this. Haha i'm struggling as well.

Not what you're looking for?
