Patient's question:
Hello, I am a male patient who previously had a circumcision surgery at a hospital. It has been about half a month since the surgery, but I always find that it hasn't fully recovered and there is still significant swelling. I would like to ask how to address the issue of swelling after a circumcision surgery. Is this a sign that the surgery wasn't performed properly? Do I need to take medication?Doctor's answer:
After the surgery, swelling reappeared, which is a normal phenomenon. It is recommended to pay attention to personal hygiene and prevent work-related infections. Soak with potassium permanganate, use alcohol and povidone-iodine for sterilization, and take anti-inflammatory oral medication for a few days. You should rest and wear loose clothing. Avoid drinking beer and eating spicy or irritating foods to ensure complete recovery. The condition of the foreskin is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it is important to seek medical treatment from professional and reputable hospitals in a timely manner, and treatment should be considered based on detailed examination results. Also, pay attention to a proper diet and avoid sexual activity. Finally, we wish all patients a speedy recovery.
