Patient's question:
3 days ago I had surgery, the doctor suggested I also have the spinal nerve block surgery. Then he recommended I do semiconductor and red light therapy. I want to ask if it's necessary to do laser therapy?Doctor's answer:
The cause of edema is post-photocircumcision. Due to the rich blood circulation at the frenulum of the prepuce, the postoperative blood and lymphatic vessels are cut off, and new circulation pathways are established. This leads to poor blood flow, resulting in local swelling after surgery. Generally, it can return to normal within 2-3 weeks, but the specific situation varies from person to person. There is no need to panic; once the new circulation is established, the swelling will naturally subside. If the swelling persists for a long time, it is recommended to return to the hospital for reexamination to avoid secondary infection.
