Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year. Recently, I have been feeling unwell. During the day, I sometimes feel dizzy, and it has affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to work well. Could you please tell me how many days of swelling are common after a pediatric circumcision?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the degree of edema after circumcision surgery varies among individuals. Generally, the edema phase lasts for about 2 weeks, but in some cases, it may persist for up to 6 months. A common method for reducing edema is to soak in warm saline solution (2.5%-3%) for 2-3 times a day, with each session lasting 15-30 minutes.Children have weaker immune systems, so they are more prone to conditions like urinary tract infections. For parents, it's important not to panic and should promptly take their child to a specialized hospital for examination and treatment. Additionally, regular check-ups should be conducted for the child, and medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor.
