What should be noted before the circumcision edema surgery?

Patient's question:

First, my glans started appearing with some red spots, but there was no discomfort. However, recently I noticed that blisters have also appeared on it, varying in size and increasing in number. This situation doesn't seem normal, does it? Could it be balanitis? Please ask: What should I pay attention to before undergoing a foreskin reduction surgery?

Doctor's answer:

Hello; According to your condition, after the circumcision surgery, it is necessary to avoid prolonged standing to alleviate local frenulum edema, prevent the dressing from drying out, and reduce excessive skin irritation. Additionally, oral antibiotics should be taken to prevent local infection. Generally, it is advisable to avoid mental stress and wear loose underwear to prevent friction. Local skin dressings should be changed periodically. Circumcision can be stabilized, but the treatment process is usually slow and prone to recurrence. Therefore, medication should be used appropriately during treatment. It is also recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and diet during the treatment period. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
