How to deal with severe swelling on the eighth day after circumcision?

Patient's question:

Please ask a few questions, it's the eighth day of circumcision, and the lower part is much more swollen than the upper part. Is this a problem? There is a little blood at the sutured area.

Doctor's answer:

The situation you described is that it has been eight days since the circumcision surgery, with swelling and bleeding. In this case, it is recommended that you pay close attention, minimize physical activity, and be mindful of preventing erections. It is also important to implement timely irrigation and dressing to prevent the skin from breaking again. Swelling is caused by the incomplete formation of collateral circulation, which requires gradual and complete recovery—do not rush. Additionally, for patients with urological conditions during treatment, their dietary habits and care are also crucial. Patients must pay attention to their diet and consume more light foods to avoid unnecessary harm. I hope the above answer can assist you. Thank you.
