Will Hematoma In The Incision Line For Circumcision Dissolve By Itself?

Hi, I am 29, 5'12'', 160lbs. I had a circumcision over 2 weeks ago and the day after the surgery a big hematoma developed just under the incision line. It slightly decreased until a few days ago when I went to the doctor, who extracted a blood clot from it by literally squeezing it out through the unhealed wound (the swelling opressed the cut line causing it to bleed). So the hematoma decreased significantly, although some of it is still detectable under the fingers - it is a hard area comparing to generaly soft penis when flaccid. I have been applying some heparine over the swelling for the past 2 days (I saw the doctor on Monday) but my question is will it dissolve by itself or should I go in to get it out via surgery?

Hi,

If its not infected local application of heparin can help you. If there is infection then you need to locally clean with antibiotic/ antiseptic solution for better result.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
