Patient's question:
After circumcision, there was some edema that turned black. After three days of intravenous fluid treatment and medication, the edema has somewhat subsided. After the pearl papules were treated with laser, there was a recurrence of discharge (white purulent). How can the edema be resolved? Is it still necessary to focus on implementing intravenous fluid treatment?Doctor's answer:
First, it is normal to experience swelling again after a circumcision surgery. The reason is due to the severance of superficial venous blood vessels during the surgery or the excessive tightness of postoperative sterile gauze wrapping, which leads to venous reflux obstruction. Due to individual differences in physical constitution, the time it takes to subside varies from person to person. Generally, after the surgery, it is important to maintain the cleanliness of the wound with sterile gauze and prevent it from getting wet with urine to avoid infection. Additionally, you can support the penis to improve blood circulation or use the method of alternating cold compresses to relieve swelling. If symptoms of infection, such as inflammation or delayed wound healing, occur, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to timely treatment for male reproductive health issues, patients also need to pay attention to care, such as maintaining a light diet and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Meanwhile, patients should also pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for treatment to ensure a good therapeutic effect.
