Inflammation after part. circ.

Written by HN at 10 May 2004 22:43:04:

Hi!
About 1½ week ago I had what I guess is a part. circ. since the foreskin still remains and can practically cover the glans when flaccid. However, at this point I still see some inflammation every day which I try to remove whenever visiting the toilet or during showers. Is it normal to still see inflammation at this point and if not then what can be done about it?
Another question is that from day 2 the surgeon told me to retract the foreskin and exercise it but even though the swelling and discoloring has disappeared it seems fairly tight and I usually have to moisten the glans in order to pull the foreskin forwards again. The inner part of the foreskin doesn't become visible but instead it is just pushed backwards and forms a soft but bulky rim around the forehead when retracted. I haven't had an erection yet (except for a partial one the second night in bed which was quite painful!) but the fact that it is a bit tight when flaccid, won't this be a problem? Or will this disappear after a while by exercising the foreskin?
