What should I do if the glans is still covered after circumcising excessive foreskin?

Patient's question:

I am 30 years old this year. Three days after the circumcision, the wound area was covered, and the glans was also covered. When changing the dressing, I had to use my hand to lift it up. If I didn't lift it, the glans couldn't be exposed. Only after it was exposed could I change the dressing.

Doctor's answer:

Consider that there may be mild edema around the local wound after surgery. Regular follow-up visits to the hospital for dressing changes and sterilization solutions are required. Generally, wound healing takes about 10 to 14 days. During the recovery period, it is best to avoid excessive erections and prevent the wound from getting wet. Full recovery is expected to take about one month. In addition, during the treatment for excessive foreskin, in addition to medication, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must avoid excessive mental tension and worry to prevent unnecessary impacts on the recovery of excessive foreskin.
