Hello,

As per my reply to Watty - swelling is normal and can take around 6-10 days to go down. Keep the wound dry, but clean, and as before, if you have a foreskin, avoid retraction for a while unless it is confortable and easy. Dont force anything. Re Night time erections - I remember them too - they hurt like hell! I was advised that there is nothing that can be administered to prevent these - an old nurse however suggested that what they do in the hospital is give the base of the penis a firm tap with a pencil - I didnt have the urge to try it myself, but apparently it does work! In any event, in my case, I used dressings right up until the point that I could go through the night without any staining to the dressing. The best of luck, and let us know how you get on.

Andy
