Congratulations on your new dick! Nothing you describe is out of the ordinary. It takes the body a while to adapt to all this new hardware stuffed inside. Time and patience are your friend.

I have to agree. I had a circumcision in 2013. The swelling, bruising, colors & penis retraction to the surgery are real. Your body is saying that it isn't happy. Absent of any infection signs, don't woryy. You're normal.

I’m with you brother. I’m 10 days post surgery. The pain is mostly gone but there are times, even when inactive, it’s like BAM! I get a sharp shot of pain on the penis shaft or scrotal sac. I massage the area a little and it fades away and I’m fine again.

I also had significant scrotal swelling. When I removed the mummy wrap, my scrotal sac was bright red and very puffy. It didn’t concern me, I figured that’s to be expected. Overnight it blew up to softball size and started turning dark red, purple, and blackish. I contacted my Doctor and he said I developed a scrotal hematoma and recommended lots of heat therapy to liquify it which helps the body absorb it faster. I did what he said and the size started decreasing about 10-15% daily. On days 4-8 my scrotal skin felt like it was on fire and peeled like a sunburn. Thankfully it’s almost back to normal size and color. At least my sac fits back inside the pouch of my underwear again but the skin is still very tender and gives me the twinges when I walk.

In reading FT, I concluded there’s a small percentage of lucky ones that breeze through recovery. Unfortunately a similar number of guys must deal with longer term complications. You and I are probably somewhere in the middle of the bell shaped curve. I figure it will take me about 3 weeks to get back to a sense of normality. The hematoma probably set me back a full week or more in the healing process.

My surgeon and his PA both emphasized there is no need to worry as long as your trending towards better. It is not normal for pain to increase after it starts getting better. If it does, seek medical help quickly.

Hi everything seems to be on track except for I feel like it gets slightly pumped up overnight and because I haven't been trained in the use yet another week to go. I have a hard time deflating it some, so I am not walking around with a showing hard on
