Patient's question:
Penile edema hasn't subsided. Penile edema hasn't gone away after a month. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The circumcision surgery cuts off the blood supply of the penis skin, causing the blood and lymphatic circulation to be obstructed. Rebuilding the circulation requires a certain amount of time, and there will be varying degrees of edema for several months. You can use warm water to rinse the foreskin or gently press the edematous area with your fingers to promote lymphatic. It is recommended to relax and, according to your description, this is a common phenomenon after circumcision surgery and does not require concern or treatment. You can follow the above methods to enhance lymphatic, and it will take several months to completely subside. The foreskin can recover, but the treatment process is generally slow and prone to complications after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor during the treatment.
