day 15 - swelling - lump or blood clot

Post a new topicby julessf on Fri Jun 26, 2009 2:56 am

I had a circumcision 15 days ago. Circumcision scar line is healing well. However, on the top of the penis is a large swell - the size of a walnut that feels like a blood clot under the skin. The lump itself has no pain and it is detached from the penile tissue. It's quite scary as the lump is there while the circumcision line is healing very well.

I'm a little concern that the lump is not reducing in size. I would like to know if anyone has experience what I am facing today and if you could tell me if I need to be seen or have it resolve on it's own.

I saw my urologist and thought he did agree that the swell is large, he thinks it will go away over time.

I'm still very concerned and at times very depressed about it.

Thanks so much.

I was circuncised 3 weeks ago and have the exact same problem, a small hard lump in the flesh under the skin about 10 mm behind the stitches on the top. I am hoping that it will go away but have made an appointment with the urologist that did the circumcision in about 3 weeks.

Visited the urologist, but only saw a female understudy who did not seem to know much, she reconds it is only a blood vessel, but I am not convinced.
