Post-procedural swelling

Written by James at 15 May 2005 07:44:21:

What are your experiencing with the swelling going down? I've heard for some it takes up to a hundred days.

I had my circ. on March 16. The surgeon saw me three weeks later and was amazed by how well things were coming along. In my first week, I had a very severe case of swelling -- beyond that of the average procedure.

What I notice now though, is not discomfort. I am in a fully healed state. Only the frenulum still seems quite puffy (but it doesn't even seem as though their are liquids there -- sort of just a loose, padded area of skin, as though it had been stretched by the initial effects of the swelling). I'm not sure if this is how a frenulum is supposed to appear, a little droopy underneath the penis, or if it is just because the skin hasn't fully tightened into place.

What are your experiences with this? How long should I expect for it to go down (if it does)? I'm still benefitting from this board too!

Thanks!
