Sleeping on my stomach post circumcision

I'm a stomach sleeper. I got zsr circumcision 5 months ago. I still have ring like swelling below the glans and some near frenulum. I want to know if it's OK to sleep on my stomach even with the swelling present. Right now I sleep sideways.

Translate from spanish please:

Fui circuncidado hace 1 año aproximadamente. Todavía queda hinchazón alrededor del glande, quizás similar a la tuya. Puedo realizar mi vida normalmente, no creo que haya peligro en dormir boca abajo. Podrías consultar con tu urólogo si notas algo extraño, pero por lo que relatas es completamente normal.

Saludos!

If you don’t have any raw wounds then it’s okay to sleep on your stomach as you used to.

I'm just scared that sleeping on my stomach might aggrevate the swelling... Because there will be pressure on your penis

Swelling even after 5months is not ok. Consult doctors for reason.

if you mean swelling by the ring of hard tissue under the scar, it can take more than 12 months to diseappear, as soon as there is no bleeding or infection it's not a problem

The swelling is not the scar line... It's just below the glans, the neck of the glans, the soft skin... And also the shaft has increased in girth

My doctor said it can take anything up to 18 months for all the fluid to drain completely.
