Is it normal to need to receive anti-inflammatory injections every day after a circumcision?

Patient's question:

I had a circumcision surgery and was told to receive anti-inflammatory injections every day. In addition to the Chinese herbal medicine injections in the rectum, the daily cost is over 700. Is this normal?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, after a circumcision surgery, the treatment is primarily determined based on the condition of the wound. As long as there are no significant issues with the wound, intravenous treatment can be replaced with oral anti-inflammatory medication after three days. It is recommended that you visit the urology department of a public hospital to have the dressing changed by a doctor and assess the wound condition. Circumcision can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
