Patient's question:
Post- circumcision and frenuloplasty on the fourth day, the ligament and preputial ring have been tied too tightly, and inflammation has already started. There is pus discharge, and the clothing area feels burning. Is the inflammation tied for anti-inflammatory purposes?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 suggests an infection has occurred, and since it has already developed pus, it should not be taken lightly—it could be balanitis. Generally, it may return to normal within about 3 weeks, but it may also persist for up to 3 months, depending on the individual.
During this time, it’s important to maintain good hygiene, keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose cotton underwear. If swelling is significant, sexual activity should be strictly avoided for the time being. To aid in recovery, please seek timely treatment.
