Patient's question:

My girlfriend wants to divorce me because of my excessive foreskin, so I got circumcised at the hospital a week ago. Yesterday, I went to the hospital to have the stitches removed, and this morning I noticed swelling at the sutured area. It looks like a life jacket around the head of my penis.

Doctor's answer:

First, it is normal to experience swelling again after a circumcision procedure. The reason is due to the severance of superficial venous blood vessels during the surgery or the postoperative gauze bandage being too tight, which leads to venous. Due to individual differences in physical constitution, the time to subside the swelling varies from person to person. Generally, after the surgery, it is important to maintain the cleanliness of the wound gauze and prevent it from getting wet with urine to avoid infection. Additionally, you can support the penis to promote blood circulation or use the method of alternating cold compresses to relieve swelling.
In addition, it is important to pay attention to:
1. Avoid alcohol and spicy or stimulating drinks.
2. Do not engage in strenuous exercise or (such as cycling, horseback riding, etc.), and get plenty of rest.
3. Drink less water before bed and at night, do not hold back urine, and avoid erections. If an erection occurs, you can get up and move around or urinate to relieve tension.
