What is the reason for redness and swelling half a month after circumcision surgery?

Patient's question:

The foreskin has reappeared red and swollen. It's been 13 days since the circumcision, and the stitches haven't fallen off yet. Could you please tell me? Is there any method to reduce the swelling?

Doctor's answer:

This is a manifestation of inflammatory decomposition metabolism of the skin, which is not very significant anymore. This is normal and will gradually subside. The treatment is primarily anti-inflammatory, so it's important to pay attention to local hygiene, sterilization, and use many topical anti-inflammatory creams. In severe cases, oral medication may be necessary. In addition to treating male diseases, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet and maintain a cheerful mood in daily life to enhance their constitution and slow down the recovery process.
