Do I need to receive intravenous fluids after circumcision surgery?

Patient's question:

Do you need to have an intravenous infusion after a circumcision? I had a circumcision a few days ago and feel a bit swollen. What should I do after the surgery? Do I need an intravenous infusion? How should I deal with the swelling?

Doctor's answer:

Penile prepuce overhang occurs when your penis is flaccid, the foreskin can fully cover the glans but can also be retracted to reveal the glans. When your penis is erect, the glans can be seen but does not fully emerge. The impact of prepuce overhang is insufficient hygiene, requiring frequent cleaning, as it can easily lead to balanitis if not regularly cleaned. If the smegma is not cleaned frequently, it can cause harm to sexual partners, causing pain and leading to diseases such as vaginal, cervical, and pelvic. The prepuce can be stabilized, but the treatment usually takes a long time, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, medication must be used appropriately during treatment.
