Patient's question:

Methods for reducing swelling after circumcision

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to the situation you described: Generally, after a circumcision, exposure to the inner foreskin, friction, sensitivity, and rebandaging can easily lead to postoperative edema and slower swelling. It is recommended that sterile gauze should not be too tight. Usually, as long as the wound is normal without issues, the edema in the inner foreskin will gradually subside after recovery. Alternatively, applying a 50% magnesium sulfate solution can also help reduce swelling. It is recommended to gradually heal without worrying.
