Patient's question:
Post circumcision day four, the ligature and commercial ring are too tight, and inflammation has already started. There is pus discharge, and the garment feels hot. Is the inflammation being treated with anti-inflammatory measures?Doctor's answer:
After undergoing circumcision for excessive foreskin, the swelling in the glans area is likely due to poor drainage of local lymphatic tissue. Over time, collateral circulation will gradually form, and this condition will return to normal.Hello, this situation may be due to an infection, and if it has already developed pus, it should not be taken lightly. It is likely balanitis. Generally, it can return to normal within about 3 weeks, but it may also take up to 3 months, depending on the individual.
During this time, it is important to maintain local hygiene, keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose cotton underwear. If the swelling is significant, sexual activity should be temporarily avoided. To aid in recovery, please seek timely treatment.
