What causes pain after circumcision

Patient's question:

I just had a circumcision surgery at the hospital. When I squeeze the wound on the back of my penis, it still hurts. I don't know if it's because the wound hasn't healed yet, so it still hurts. What causes pain after a circumcision?

Doctor's answer:

After a normal circumcision surgery, it is possible to experience discomfort in the glans penis again. This is a normal phenomenon. Generally, this sensation will gradually disappear after about a week. If this occurs again, it may be due to excessive friction or contact stimulating the local skin and mucosa caused by frequent penile erections. In your case, it should return to normal within a short period of time. For severe urological conditions, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements for medication, as this may worsen the condition.
