Patient's question:
Last week, I seemed to have a slight fever, then felt tired and sleepy. When I came home at night, I noticed a red ring 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'm asking: How can I treat foreskin edema to make it heal well and safely?Doctor's answer:
After the circumcision surgery, it is normal to experience discomfort in the glans penis during the recovery period. This sensation usually subsides gradually after about a week. It is best to rest for 1-2 days, during which you can lie down and engage in activities like reading or researching. Try to minimize walking to avoid postoperative friction that could cause the skin to break.After full recovery from the circumcision surgery, there may be mild pain and swelling at the wound site. Pain relievers should be taken regularly, and the wound typically heals completely within 7-10 days. For individuals who have undergone circumcision, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek appropriate treatment promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life while maintaining good hygiene. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
