Patient's question:
I had a circumcision surgery a few weeks ago. After the surgery, the left side of my glans is lower than the right side, and one side of the urethral meatus is protruding, causing urine to split. What is going on? Is it not healing properly yet? The doctor at my local hospital said there's nothing wrong, but I don't believe it.Doctor's answer:
The urethral meatus, which has just been exposed, has undergone friction, causing local tissue thickening. This thickened tissue blocks the urethral meatus, leading to recurrent diffused symptoms. This will improve with recovery. Currently, when you urinate, you can use a mineral water bottle to cover the urethral meatus to prevent the above phenomenon. If you have prolonged redness and swelling, you should pay attention to whether you have developed balanitis. This is a serious matter. Circumcision does not damage the urethra, so there should be no connection. Urinary splitting is a problem related to the prostate. Additionally, avoid keeping your scrotum in the medication for a long time during sit baths, as prolonged high temperatures are very harmful to sperm. Male genitourinary diseases are difficult to recover from. Patient friends should always maintain a positive attitude.
