Patient's question:
Last week, I seemed to have a slight fever, then felt tired and sleepy. When I came home that night, I noticed a ring of redness on the head of my penis, with some bleeding. At the time, I went to the hospital, and the doctor said it was caused by balanitis. I would like to ask: How can I treat foreskin edema to make it heal well and safely?Doctor's answer:
After the circumcision surgery, it is possible to experience discomfort in the glans penis during the complete recovery period, which is a normal phenomenon. This sensation usually gradually disappears after about a week. It is best to rest for 1-2 days, during which you can lie in bed and engage in activities like reading or researching. Try to minimize walking to avoid postoperative friction that could cause skin damage.After the circumcision surgery, during the complete recovery period, there may be mild pain and swelling at the wound. Pain relievers should be taken regularly, and the wound typically heals completely within 7-10 days. For individuals with phimosis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, and maintain a healthy lifestyle to prevent overexertion. Pay attention to personal hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
