What does the recovery period after a circumcision look like?

Patient's question:

I want to ask about the recovery period after the circumcision surgery. I had the procedure 11 days ago today. 1. I want to ask how the full recovery is going. 2. Will the area shown in Figure 3 disappear? How long does it take? There's a little bit of pain in that area. 3. How should I take care of it?

Doctor's answer:

Edema is the most common complication after circumcision surgery. Your condition has some edema, but this is normal and will gradually recover. You can take some anti-edema medications, such as diozime tablets or mazilin. Additionally, try to minimize erections as much as possible. Circumcision and phimosis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is usually long, and there is a higher risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, actively cooperate with your doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and have a proper diet during the treatment period.
