Patient's question:
Hello, I have excessive foreskin. When erect, there is a string connecting the glans, and it hurts when pulled down. I want to learn about it. May I ask what should I do if there is swelling after circumcision and it comes back up?Doctor's answer:
Carefully observe as it is waiting to be refined. Swelling after circumcision surgery is normal because the surgery removes too much foreskin, which also interrupts the blood and lymphatic circulation, leading to swelling. It doesn't need to be a concern—it is just waiting to gradually subside. Under normal circumstances, it will take at least a month to recover. Swelling from surgical wounds will naturally subside on its own. If you are really in a hurry, do not engage in sexual activity or intercourse within the first half month after surgery, as this may cause severe swelling or make it harder to subside.
