Patient's question:
Hello doctor. I am 17 days post-foreskin surgery and still experiencing swelling with some scabs falling off. I would like to ask what might be the cause of this and whether I need to go to the hospital to have stitches. What precautions should I take?Doctor's answer:
Post- circumcision for seventeen days, it has not yet returned to normal, so it is necessary to go to the hospital for follow-up as soon as possible. The reason for this recurring issue is still related to inadequate post-operative inflammation management. Additionally, it is also related to frequent erections of the penis during the recovery period. This point must be paid close attention to. Generally, it is not recommended to re-stitch. Proper post-operative inflammation management is sufficient. Male sexual health conditions are not easy to recover from. Friends with these conditions should maintain a positive mindset and face them with optimism. Only in this way can they improve their confidence in combating male sexual health issues and believe that recovery is definitely achievable.
