Patient's question:
It has been twenty days since I had the circumcision surgery, and there is still some edema at the surgical site. What are the symptoms of a contagious circumcision surgery? What are the symptoms of an infected circumcision surgery?Doctor's answer:
Postoperative infection after male circumcision is generally caused by two reasons: improper operation during the surgery and improper postoperative care by the male patient. If a patient with excessive foreskin seeks follow-up treatment at a formal hospital, it is highly unlikely to experience symptoms of postoperative edema and infection due to surgical operation issues. Additionally, the complete recovery after circumcision typically takes about 1-2 weeks. Generally speaking, sexual activity should not be resumed too soon after surgery to avoid poor scarring. It is best to wait at least one month post-surgery, with the condition being pain-free upon erection.Facing the harm of male urological diseases, we should actively undergo thorough examinations and treatment, without avoiding medical visits. If male urological diseases do not improve after prolonged treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
