Patient's question:
I had the circumcision surgery on the 8th and stayed at home resting until the 15th to have the stitches removed. The wound has mostly healed, but on the 16th, I noticed some swelling around the frenulum. It doesn't hurt at all, feels a bit firm, and there's no bleeding. I've been like this ever since. After the circumcision surgery and after the stitches are removed, will there be any bruising or congestion?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it's like this. When undergoing a circumcision surgery, a small part of the blood vessels must be cut. Therefore, there will be blood that cannot flow to the distal end, which can lead to blood clots. So in your situation, it is indeed due to blood clots, and the swelling you're experiencing now is normal. After the blood clots form, your body will secrete fluid locally, causing the swelling. Therefore, it is recommended to wait a few more days and let it gradually resolve on its own. Don't worry, it's not a major issue.For male health conditions, if the illness is severe, it is advised that the patient seek immediate treatment. It is hoped that the patient can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid spicy or irritating foods to prevent worsening the condition.
