Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I would like to consult some questions. I recently had a circumcision surgery for the past six days. Today is my sixth day, and I had the bandage removed because the adhesive tape kept sticking to the glans with a sticky substance. After removing it, it hurts a lot. I went out for a walk today and noticed that my penis is swollen when I came back. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms described above, it is inferred that post-urethral surgery edema is clinically more common due to lymphatic drainage obstruction following the surgery. A 30% magnesium sulfate solution can be applied topically to reduce swelling and treat the condition. Since the gauze is still adhering to the wound, it is best to re-bandage the wound with sterile materials and focus on anti-inflammatory treatment. It is advisable to follow the prescribed medication and treatment under the guidance of the attending physician. The condition of urological diseases is very serious, and it is recommended that the patient seek immediate treatment. It is hoped that the patient can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, dietary issues should be addressed, avoiding spicy and irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition.
