What's wrong with a little itching after circumcision?

Patient's question:

Previously had phimosis. After the circumcision, why is the glans a bit itchy? Is it because the glans is being irritated by pubic hair, causing it to itch? But the glans doesn't have anything special, no redness, just sometimes itchy. Infected? It's just simple itching. What assistance do you need: What's wrong with me.

Doctor's answer:

After the circumcision, due to local wound discharge and factors such as industrial pollution in urine, the glans may become dirty, leading to recurrent irritation and pain.
Advice: If there is no redness around the wound, it means there is no infection, and this is a normal phenomenon. You can use sterile iodine to disinfect the area, which can help alleviate the pain. The foreskin can be relieved, but the treatment period is generally long, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to cooperate actively with the doctor during treatment and use medication appropriately. Additionally, during the treatment period, it is recommended to adopt a healthy lifestyle and maintain a proper diet. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
