It's been 7 days since my circumcision but there's still swelling and a ring-like appearance around the head of my penis. How long until the swelling fully goes down and everything looks normal again? I also have some lingering pain - is that expected? Will that ring shape disappear as it heals?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Swelling and pain are common after circumcision and should subside within 2-3 weeks. The ring-like appearance is normal post-surgery, and it will likely disappear as the healing progresses.

Phimosis is a condition where the foreskin can't be pulled back from the head of the penis. It's normal in babies and small children, and they usually grow out of it. It can also be caused by infections, scar tissue, and skin diseases, and may need to be treated with steroid cream or surgery

I'm a bit worried about something that's been happening with my husband. We're both younghe's 32 and I'm 21and we've been married for six months. For the first five months, everything was fine, and he was able to insert his penis into my vagina. But for the past month, he hasn't been able to do that because it doesn't get strong enough. He can still release sperm, but the penis doesn't stay firm enough to insert. What could be causing this, and what should we do?
Your husband may be experiencing erectile dysfunction. I recommend he consult with a doctor to determine the underlying cause. In the meantime, he can try using sildenafil (Viagra) before sexual activity to help with achieving and maintaining an erection. Remember to follow the prescribed dosage and instructions provided by the doctor.
