Patient's question:
Penile edema, want to get circumcised.Doctor's answer:
Do you have other symptoms besides these? For example, local redness, pain, or purulent discharge. How long have you had swelling of the foreskin? Circumcision is a minor surgery with minimal risks. The most common postoperative complications include infection at the foreskin incision, recurrence of local redness, swelling, pain, or even inflammation. This is an elective surgery. If you have local foreskin swelling or inflammation, it's best to wait until the swelling subsides or the inflammation is controlled before undergoing the procedure. Otherwise, it may easily lead to local infection and poor wound healing. The foreskin can be relieved, but the treatment process is usually slow.
