What Causes Swelling In Penis After Circumcision?
Hello, about two months ago I was circumcised, and I'm 16 years old. My penis is still a bit swollen, and the area where I was cut is rough, and bumpy. The doctor who performed the operation told me it would eventually smoothen out, and subside but it hasn't changed in two weeks. I'm curious as to if this is normal, and approximately how long it will take to smoothen, and reach a notmal state.

Hi
greetings.
I understand your situation. But it takes some time for getting back the smooth contour.
In some patients it will take 2 to 3 weeks and few will take as much as 6 months.It varies from patient to patient.
If you are not happy with the opinion by the surgeon who has done the surgery ,can always take a second opinion.
That will convince you to wait. Hope my answer helps you. Regards
