Patient's question:
Actually, I've had a circumcision surgery for a long time, but suddenly my lower body swelled up, which made me very upset. I don't know what to do or how to relieve my swelling, so I want to ask our experts, what should I do if there is some swelling after circumcision?Doctor's answer:
Hello, swelling of the penis after circumcision is a normal postoperative reaction. It is recommended that you visit a regular hospital daily to receive intravenous antibiotics. This symptom usually subsides gradually after about a week. While using intravenous antibiotics, it is also recommended to apply povidone-iodine for sterilization to the local area of the penis daily. However, be careful not to re-bandage the wound—keep it open and maintain dryness. Adjust your physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
