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. Please ask: How are the prices for diagnosis and treatment of foreskin edema determined?Doctor's answer:
The circumcision surgery cuts off the blood supply of the penis skin, causing the blood and lymphatic circulation to be obstructed. The restoration of circulation requires a certain amount of time, and there will be varying degrees of edema for several months. During this period, you can use warm water to rinse the foreskin or gently press the edematous areas with your fingers to promote lymphatic. It is recommended to relax and not worry, as the symptoms you described are common after circumcision and do not require treatment. You can follow the above methods to enhance lymphatic, and it will take several months to completely subside. The edema can be relieved, but the treatment usually takes a long time and is prone to recurrence. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor during the treatment!
