Patient's question:
The doctor said that I don't need to have stitches removed after the circumcision surgery. Now I have swelling, especially in the lower part of the glans, is it necessary to have stitches removed after the circumcision surgery due to swelling?Doctor's answer:
Edema occurs because the stitches are tight. That's why the swelling happens. It will gradually subside once the stitches are removed. Usually, after the stitches come out, it takes about 5 days for the swelling to noticeably decrease. Once the swelling subsides, it will take a few more days to fully recover. I've also taken those medications. However, I felt that taking medicine wasn't very helpful. It only has a slight anti-inflammatory effect. I took the medicine for only 2 days before throwing it away. But now I'm doing just fine. If the inflammation is too severe, getting an IV drip once should be enough.Apart from what you mentioned, everything else is normal. I hope you can get through this difficult period soon.
In addition to treating male reproductive health issues, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood at all times. This can help strengthen their constitution and slow down the recovery process.
