Patient's question:
Approximately twenty days. The circumcision surgery was done about a month ago. I feel very sad. Hello, is this a sexually transmitted disease? After the stitches are removed from the circumcision surgery, there is a month of redness and peeling of the glans penis, occasionally itchy. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
After circumcision, it is best to rest in bed for the first week to avoid prolonged standing or sitting. Some young people may feel embarrassed to take time off after the surgery and continue with their training. Due to poor local blood circulation, this can directly lead to swelling of the glans penis, turning it purple like eggplant, which affects wound healing.For the first 3 to 4 days after surgery, take medication as prescribed before bed to prevent an erection, which may cause pain or skin breakdown. Finally, follow your doctor's instructions for changing the new anti-inflammatory medication and avoid going to dirty, dusty places. If any adverse reactions occur, it is recommended to seek medical attention early.
For severe male urological conditions, it is advised to seek immediate medical attention. Follow your doctor's advice for prompt treatment and do not change medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect.
