Patient's question:
I'm so frustrated. What's going on? Why did I start experiencing edema after getting circumcised? I used to have no major problems, just a slightly long foreskin. But my wife said it wasn't stimulating enough and insisted I get it done, saying it would be good for my health.Doctor's answer:
Generally, people who have had circumcision surgery are often anxious in the early stages, mostly due to fear of the future function of their penis. Depending on each person's physique and surgical method, the swelling period varies. If a traditional circumcision is performed, the swelling will disappear slightly slower, but it will not exceed one year. It will never affect sexual function. It is generally recommended to resume sexual activity after one and a half months.If a Korean painless circumcision is performed (you actually believe in this Korean stuff?), then congratulations. The doctor will conveniently make the frenulum (the band below the urethral opening) larger, calling it a way to reduce thickness. This is something that will never be completely eliminated for the rest of your life.
