Why is the glans red and swollen after circumcision?

Patient's question:

I had a circumcision surgery on Monday, and now my glans is red and swollen, the wound hurts, and urination is uncomfortable.

Doctor's answer:

The circumcision surgery was performed on Monday. Now the glans is red and swollen, the incision hurts, and urination is not smooth. Maintain cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia. If the urine soaks, change the new gauze promptly. Change the dressing regularly. Physical treatment such as exposure to a heat lamp can be provided, twice a day, each time for about 20 minutes, at a distance of about one foot from the penis wound to prevent burns. Avoid consuming smoked, spicy, and irritating foods. Quit smoking and alcohol, maintain a regular schedule, and absolutely do not work overtime. Drink plenty of water, urinate frequently, and keep bowel movements smooth.
