A member asked:
Hi , my 4 month old son was circumcised 2 days and his penis is still really swollen. how long does it take for the swelling to go down?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Post-circumcision swelling in a 4-month-old should settle down in about 5 - 7 days after surgery.You may not know what technique was used. Did the surgeonuse sutures? or was circumcision clamp used or PlastiBell or other circumcision deviceused.Moderate to severe swelling can occur if there is and bleeding under the skin, this can take longer for swelling to go if it occurs. Try to consult surgeon
