Patient's question:
It's been almost a month since I had my foreskin circumcised at the hospital, but the swelling hasn't gone down yet. Now I'm constantly worried that this swelling might turn into fibrosis.Doctor's answer:
After undergoing circumcision for excessive foreskin, swelling in the glans area may be considered due to poor local lymphatic drainage. Over time, collateral circulation will gradually form, and this condition will return to normal. Generally, it may take about 3 weeks to surpass the normal state, but it may also be delayed to about 3 months. The specific situation varies from person to person.During this period, it is important to pay attention to local hygiene, keeping the area clean and dry, and wearing loose cotton underwear. In addition to seeking proper medical treatment for urological conditions, patients should also focus on dietary aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in regular outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should pay attention to choosing a professional hospital for treatment to achieve better therapeutic effects.
