Patient's question:
I originally had balanitis. After the surgery, the red spots on the head of the penis gradually dried, turned yellow, and peeled off. 12 days later, the red mark under the peeled-off yellow crust was still red. The urethral opening was slightly swollen, and in the morning, I noticed it was stuck together, making urination inconvenient. What should I do about the problems after the foreskin surgery?Doctor's answer:
Postoperative edema is a normal phenomenon. The complete resolution of edema determines the full establishment of local lymphatic drainage. The duration of edema reduction varies from person to person, generally lasting 1 to 3 months after surgery, with very few cases resolving in less than 3 months. It is recommended not to stimulate the local area and to prevent friction, as this helps in reducing edema. Eat more fruits and vegetables!Additionally, for patients with urological conditions during treatment, their dietary status and care are also crucial. Patients should pay close attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary injuries.
