What should I do if there is edema around the suture line during the first week after circumcision surgery?

Patient's question:

I've had my circumcision surgery for over a month now. During the wound cleaning week, the edema around it didn't improve at all despite the treatment at the hospital, and I spent so much money! What should I do in this situation? Could you please tell me what kind of medicine I should take and what I should pay attention to in my diet?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, local incision edema after circumcision surgery is also a normal phenomenon. This is because the capillaries in the subcutaneous tissue of the penis have not yet fully repaired and anastomosed, resulting in edema not being resolved promptly. You can visit the physical therapy department for local heat therapy and physiotherapy to promote local swelling reduction and stabilize microcirculation. Male patients can, while understanding and receiving symptomatic treatment, also use dietary therapy as supplementary treatment in daily life. Proper dietary habits should be maintained in daily meals to avoid stimulating foods.
