When does the foreskin swelling go down?

Patient's question:

How long after circumcising for more than 1 month and a few days has the edema not subsided? How long will it take for the edema to disappear...

Doctor's answer:

The situation may require a circumcision due to reasons such as excessive foreskin or phimosis. After the surgery, persistent edema may reappear due to restricted local venous and lymphatic drainage, blood accumulation, or infection. In such cases, local soaking with warm potassium permanganate solution or magnesium sulfate can be used, and medications such as oral or calcium sulfate to enhance venous blood flow can be administered to prevent penile erection.
Additionally, during the treatment of male genitourinary diseases, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient must pay close attention to their diet and consume more light foods to avoid unnecessary harm.
