Patient's question:
After the circumcision surgery, the foreskin is swollen and red, and it hurts, like a mosquito bite. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to have surgery. You can take a bath 2 weeks after the operation, and sexual activity is advised after one month, as this is beneficial for wound healing. Please pay attention to the following points:1. Rest in bed for 3 to 4 days after the operation to avoid standing or sitting for long periods. Some young people may feel embarrassed to take time off after surgery and continue working. Due to poor local blood circulation, this can directly lead to swelling of the glans penis, interfering with wound healing.
2. Wear loose underwear. After the wound is re-bandaged with sterile gauze, a gauze curtain is placed in the perineal area. The purpose is to reduce friction on the glans penis.
3. Mild swelling of the glans penis is normal within 3 to 4 days after the operation. This is a physiological response caused by anesthesia and the surgery. Pay attention to the fact that the swelling should be pink in color at this time.
