Visited family physician since surgeon was in O.R. today.

The swelling is excessive and they want to keep it monitored, and for me to visit the on call doctor tomorrow morning to make sure things are OK. He says it is not dangerously swolen but I should be careful so that none of the stitches pull and so I'm not risking infection. He says the swelling SHOULD go down soon but if not I may have a bigger problem.

>>OK literally. This frenulum is swolen to th size of a second head. I'm thinking about getting it checked out. Is this normal anyone?
>>>It is the end of day two.
>>>The underside of the penis and frenulum are swolen significantly. It's almost like having a second glans attached to the bottom. It is not overly painful unless disturbed, and it does not seem to be showing any overly severe redness. So I have not been given a whole lot more to complain about.
>>>Is this degree of swelling to be expected and if so how long before it will surpass?
>>>Thanks.
>I'm no expert, but it sounds excessive - best to be safe and call your doc
