What are the post-surgical complications to be expected after circumcision?

Hello,

I am delighted you turned to icliniq.com with your medical-related questions.

I can certainly relate to your worries, and will do my best to assist.

Generally, after circumcision, things settle down in four to six weeks, and there should not be any swelling. However, I suspect that your prone masturbation is causing this issue because your suture line would be rubbing against your bedsheet. I would advise you to stop prone masturbation as it can lead to serious damage to your penile musculature. Normal masturbation is alright as long as you are not too aggressive with it. My only concern is the swelling during early morning erections. Please help me with a few details:

1. Does this swelling happen with every erection that you have? (Even when you have not masturbated)
2. Does it hurt when you have an erection (even without masturbating)?

Please share a few photos with me of your penis in both the non-erect and erect state so that I can understand what i s going on.

Looking forward to your response in order to help you.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I would need some more photos because from the photos you have uploaded, it appears to be a limited circumcision rather than a full one. I may be wrong, so I am asking for more photos.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I am sorry to say, but in my opinion, I do not think the circumcision is complete. There is still a lot of excess skin over your glans. If you search for a few photos of a circumcised penis, you may be able to see the difference. So, my guess would be that the pain and swelling might be due to the tight skin still present over the base of your glans. The other reason for the pain could be the prone masturbation. I would strongly recommend that you refrain from doing that. I would suggest speaking with your urologist about the circumcision. Is there anything else I can help you with?

Thank you.

I hope you had a pleasant experience with icliniq.

I will always be available for you in case you have any queries.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

1. Pain medication: Only when needed.
2. Swelling medication, Chymoral Forte (a combination of trypsin and chymotrypsin): Yes.

As I mentioned before, I suggest that you visit your urologist for a check-up because, based on the photos you have uploaded (and not a physical examination), there seems to be quite a bit of excess skin around your glans, which ideally should be removed.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can assist you with.

Thank you.
