Is it necessary to have red light therapy after a circumcision and phimosis surgery?

Patient's question:

Two days ago, I had a circumcision surgery at a private hospital. Every time I go, the doctor says my penis gets swollen and inflamed due to frequent erections at night. I have to go for saline infusions and medication changes every day. They promised that the recovery would be much faster with red light therapy, but they haven't prescribed any other medications. Is this a scam? Is it necessary to suggest oral medications? Are these daily saline infusions really necessary?

Doctor's answer:

A normal circumcision surgery costs only a few hundred yuan, and in a state-owned, regular hospital, there's no need for daily intravenous drips. You must have encountered excessive medical practices in a private hospital. I suggest you transfer to a public hospital for a follow-up examination and obtain the correct medical plan. The condition of phimosis is prone to recurrence, requiring long-term medication. For male patients, it's important to promptly seek treatment from professional and regular hospitals and consider treatment based on thorough examination results. Additionally, it's necessary to restrain sexual activity and maintain a positive mood. Finally, I wish all patients a speedy recovery.
