What should I do if the glans penis cracks after circumcision?

Patient's question:

I am 33 years old this year. Last week, it seems I had a slight fever, then felt tired and sleepy. When I came home that night, I noticed a red ring had formed on the head of my penis, and there was some bleeding. What should I do if the head of my penis cracks after circumcision?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, after the circumcision surgery, daily sterile dressing changes are sufficient. You can apply some anti-inflammatory ointment to the affected area and then re-bandage it with sterile gauze. In terms of diet, it's important to keep it light and avoid greasy, spicy, or irritating foods to prevent sexual stimulation from causing an erection.
In addition to treatment, patients should maintain a regular sleep schedule, take care to stay warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of warm water to strengthen their constitution and prevent illness.
