How to relieve edema after circumcision

Patient's question:

My son has phimosis, and he always says it itches. Today, I looked at my son's penis and noticed that it was inflamed. It's necessary to have surgery immediately, so after the inflammation subsided, I took my child for the surgery. However, after the surgery, there was something grown on my son's area.

Doctor's answer:

On the first day, the reaction was quite fast. Edema is a normal phenomenon, the doctor said. The first three days will be like this, and there will be interstitial fluid leakage. As long as there is no bleeding, it is normal. If the bandage is re-applied properly, you don't need to remove it. Applying ointment is not good. Just focus on eating the medicine prescribed. Buy a bottle of povidone-iodine to wipe the area locally. It works much better than ointment. Additionally, during the treatment period, you need to pay attention to bed rest. Avoid strenuous exercise, maintain a good mood, and do not have too much pressure.
