Patient's question:
I had a circumcision surgery (using a scalpel) at a private Grade III hospital yesterday. The doctor told me to remove the gauze today and apply the ointment. After the surgery yesterday, the glans was swollen. Today, after removing the gauze, the glans has subsided, but there is a significant swelling around the corona (the area between the glans and the surgical staples), almost like multiple layers of flesh being pushed out. Is this a normal phenomenon?Doctor's answer:
The penis has a rich blood supply, so postoperative edema is very common. As long as there is no severe pain or white discoloration with pus, there is no need to worry too much. Follow the doctor's advice to apply medication on time, take oral drugs, reduce swelling, and anti-inflammatory treatment. The swelling will eventually subside, so there is no need to worry too much. The daily treatment for patients with urological conditions primarily focuses on symptomatic treatment. Patients can take many oral medications, supplement with various vitamins, and pay attention to self-care, proper diet, and avoid cold foods.
