What should be done about unstable edema after circumcision?

Patient's question:

After that, the swelling disappeared, but sometimes it would reappear intermittently even when I didn't eat spicy food or when I did. It was particularly noticeable at the site where the white spots were removed, like mosquito bites. But there was no pain, just a slight itch, though it might not even be an itch.
Medical History and Treatment Effects:
The polyps were tested in my blood in 2006, and there were no symptoms of gender or warts. The doctor said it was nothing to worry about.
Current Condition:
I suffer from prostatitis, gastritis, and enteritis.
Request:
I sincerely thank the kind doctor for explaining my symptoms in detail. I am deeply grateful. Could you please advise on how to treat the lingering symptoms after my circumcision?
Thank you once again. Please give me a thumbs up and some points!

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Below is the clarification regarding the issue you mentioned:
1. Based on your description, it appears you have post- circumcision swelling, which is a common symptom after the procedure. Mild swelling of the glans penis within 3-4 days post-surgery is normal, but there is individual variation. The swelling occurs because the blood supply to the frenulum is relatively rich after circumcision, while the postoperative ligation of blood and lymphatic vessels disrupts the existing circulation, requiring time to establish new pathways. Therefore, some swelling may reappear locally after the surgery. Generally, it takes 2-3 weeks to recover, though it may take longer than 3 months in some cases. You don’t need to panic—once the new blood circulation is established, the swelling will naturally subside!
