What should I do if I have severe pain after a circumcision?

Patient's question:

Penile phimosis, the doctor used forceps to tie it for him, without anesthesia. He said to turn it over at home every night to wash it, but it was very difficult to turn it over. After washing it, it was swollen again. The glans was red, and the foreskin had torn open. It was also very difficult to roll it back. He cried so hard his chest got soaked. It hurt me so much, what should I do?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, the child may have inflammation, which could cause pain. Based on the situation you described, it is recommended to soak and wash with a high concentration of potassium permanganate solution (1:5000) daily, or apply povidone-iodine. If there is inflammation or swelling, it is best to seek medical attention. Phimosis can be relieved, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, the patient should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and not smoke or drink beer. We hope the male patient can recover as soon as possible!
