Patient's question:
Recently, I noticed mild redness and swelling of the foreskin and glans, with significant edema and severe itching of the foreskin. I had a circumcision performed two weeks ago, and now, 10 days later, the swelling is still quite severe.Doctor's answer:
Edema after circumcision is normal and typically takes 1 to 4 weeks to subside. It may be prolonged if the dressing is not properly re-applied, and it can also be related to prolonged erections. Currently, oral anti-inflammatory and edema-reducing medications can be considered. Generally, antibiotics like cephalosporins can be taken, combined with Meiziling tablets. Additionally, a 50% magnesium sulfate solution can be administered internally. It is advisable to avoid prolonged sitting, suppress erections, and avoid spicy foods. The penis can stabilize, but the treatment period is usually long, and relapse is common after treatment. Therefore, medications should be used according to 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!
