When is it appropriate to apply cold compress after circumcision?

Patient's question:

After circumcising, about twenty-five days later, the doctor told me to apply a warm towel. How many days should I apply a cold compress?

Doctor's answer:

25 days after circumcision, generally speaking, recovery is normal. If there are no symptoms, there is no need for cold compresses or special solutions. If there is swelling, you can use a hot water bag for a few minutes of cold compress, which helps stabilize the symptoms. There are many treatment methods for urological diseases, but since the symptoms of patients vary, the treatment methods adopted also differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon discovering symptoms.
