Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed mild redness and swelling of the foreskin and glans, with significant swelling and severe itching of the foreskin. I had a circumcision performed 10 days ago, and the swelling is still quite severe.Doctor's answer:
Edema after circumcision is normal, and it usually takes 1 to 4 weeks to subside. It may be related to not re-bandaging, as well as prolonged erections. Currently, oral anti-inflammatory and anti-edema medications can be considered. Generally, antibiotics like cephalosporins can be taken, combined with Meiziling tablets. Additionally, taking a 50% magnesium sulfate solution orally can also be helpful. It is best to avoid prolonged sitting, suppress erections, and avoid spicy foods. The foreskin can stabilize, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used according to the symptoms during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
