Patient's question:
It has been a month since I had my foreskin circumcised, and it has all healed. How could swelling still appear? I haven't had any sexual activity either. Can swelling still occur after the foreskin has healed?Doctor's answer:
After undergoing circumcision for excessive prepuce, the swelling in the glans area is likely due to poor drainage of local lymphatic tissue. Over time, collateral circulation will gradually form, and this condition will return to normal. Generally, it takes about 3 weeks to reach normal conditions, but it may also extend to around 3 months, depending on the individual.During this period, it is important to maintain local hygiene, keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose cotton underwear. If the swelling is significant, sexual activity should be temporarily avoided. The harm caused by male urological diseases to patients is very serious. Once symptoms are noticed, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Additionally, dietary issues should be given attention, with a focus on light and nutritious foods. We hope that male urological patients can receive professional treatment.
