Patient's question:
Post circumcision, on the fourth day, the ligature and preputial ring have been tied too tightly, and inflammation has already started. There is pus discharge, and the garment feels hot. Is the ligature tied to the inflamed area for anti-inflammatory purposes? Thank you very much to the doctor for quickly clarifying my doubts.Doctor's answer:
Generally, it takes about 3 weeks to recover under normal circumstances, but it may also be delayed to around 3 months, depending on the individual. It is important to maintain local hygiene, keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose cotton underwear. If swelling is significant, sexual activity should be strictly prohibited for the time being. To ensure a speedy recovery, please seek timely treatment. Go to the hospital for debridement and dressing change. Then, cooperate with anti-inflammatory treatment. Wishing you a speedy recovery. For patients with phimosis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek treatment promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life, paying attention to personal hygiene.
