Patient's question:
What does a post-foreskin surgery infection look like? It has been 20 days since my surgery. I feel a bit uncomfortable. The edge of my glans is slightly swollen. I don't know if it's an infection. What kind of assistance do you need: What does a post-foreskin surgery infection look like?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if a proper operation is performed in a regular hospital, the risk of infection after a circumcision is very low. However, if the patient does not take proper care, there may still be a possibility of infection. Infection after a circumcision may lead to symptoms such as yellow discharge around the surgical site and inflammation of the glans. If you experience any abnormal symptoms after a circumcision, you must go to the hospital for a thorough examination. There are generally two reasons for infection after a male circumcision: improper operation during the procedure and improper postoperative care by the male patient. Among these, patients with excessive foreskin should undergo follow-up treatment in a regular hospital.
