My penis is swollen after pumping.. Its the first time that i have pumped & i have been left with something they call the 'donut effect'.. It has been 2 days now since i pumped and my pennis is still swollen! I have a uncut foreskin which has been forced back behind the swelling which is staring to hurt. Please can anybody advise me is there anything i can do to help the swelling go and also does the swelling go back to normal on its own.

I think you are supposed to keep your foreskin forward when you pump.

If your foreskin has been forced back, then you may have paraphimosis.

Paraphimosis is the name of the condition of a retracted foreskin that is stuck behind the glans penis (head) of the penis and will not go forward. One can read about paraphimosis on the Internet.

If the foreskin is tight enough it can cut off blood circulation to the head and cause edema (swelling due to fluid accumulation). Paraphimosis should be promptly reduced when it occurs. Paraphimosis may be reduced by squeezing the head of the penis really hard to force the blood to leave the head. This will temporarily reduce the size of the head at which time the foreskin may be brought forward.

If attempts to reduce the paraphimosis are unsuccessful, then one should go to the emergency room of a nearby hospital. It is not necessary or advisable to be circumcised although some old-fashioned doctors are likely to recommend it.
