Patient's question:
My foreskin covers my glans, and only half of it can be exposed. The back half is stuck to the foreskin. I am an adult now, and I think this might be quite serious, so I told my mom about it. Last week, under my mom's guidance, I had a foreskin adhesion surgery. But in the past few days, there is some redness and swelling under the glans, and my penis feels a bit flushed and swollen. I want to ask how to reduce the swelling after the foreskin adhesion surgery?Doctor's answer:
Edema after circumcision is normal and usually subsides within about a month. There is no quick way to reduce swelling. For the first 3-4 days after the surgery, take sedatives before bed as prescribed by your doctor to prevent pain or skin tearing during an erection. Young people need to be particularly careful because the penis head, which has been covered for a long time, has very sensitive nerve endings. Once exposed, it is easily erect. Therefore, avoid looking at unhealthy books, watching TV, etc. Lovers should temporarily refrain from intimate actions like kissing or sexual activity to prevent sexual stimulation. Follow your doctor's advice and visit the hospital regularly for medication changes. After the surgery, take medication as prescribed to prevent infection.
