Patient's question:
Man is 23 years old and has had this condition for a while. I've noticed that my glans is particularly dry, and it seems to be shedding something like dandruff. I also feel itchy and painful. Is this balanitis? Please ask: Why is the glans always swollen after circumcision surgery?Doctor's answer:
After circumcision surgery, it is inevitable that small blood vessels, apart from small lymphatic vessels, may be damaged, leading to impaired circulation, which can cause swelling at the surgical site. This is a symptom that many patients experience again after the surgery. Generally, it improves slightly over time. If recovery is not satisfactory, oral anti-inflammatory medication can be taken. Additionally, in daily life, patients should maintain a balanced nutritional intake, engage in aerobic exercises to exercise the body, and maintain a cheerful mood.
