Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for query .Based on incomplete information that you have provided you seem to have developed Paraphimosis .
I shall be happy if you can post me few more details to help me in making comments on your problem.
1) Is there swelling of entire penis or only Foreskin ?
2) Are you able to retract your foreskin over glans penis?
3) Were you catheterized during surgery for Gallbladder ?
4) Is it possible to upload photograph of penis ?
Based on the facts I think you have developed what is called as Paraphimosis .However diagnosis can be confirmed only on clinical examination by a qualified General surgeon .
If is Paraphimosis you need to reduce it yourself manually else consult surgeon for reducing the same by injecting Inj Hyluranidase locally .
Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions , I shall be happy to help you .
Thanks and Regards.
