After circumcision, there is some itching, what's going on?

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 I need: What's wrong with me.

Doctor's answer:

After circumcision, due to local wound secretions and urine contamination, the glans may become dirty, leading to recurrent irritation and pain.
Advice: If there is no redness in the wound, it means there is no infection, which is normal. You can use sterile iodine for local disinfection to alleviate the pain. The foreskin can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and there is a high risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to cooperate with the doctor's treatment, use medication appropriately, and maintain a healthy lifestyle with proper diet during the treatment. We hope male patients can recover quickly!
