Patient's question:
I recently had a circumcision surgery at the hospital a few weeks ago. Today, when I went to the hospital to have the stitches removed, I noticed that my glans had developed symptoms of congestion. So, I want to ask what should be done about glans congestion after circumcision stitches are removed?Doctor's answer:
After circumcision surgery, there may be edema and bruising in the genital area, especially around the foreskin and glans. This is normal and usually subsides gradually within about half a month. Since you have just had your stitches removed, some discomfort during erection may be related to incomplete recovery. The so-called "white balls" may be related to local fibrosis during the recovery process.It is recommended to relax and carefully observe the situation. Avoid spicy and irritating foods for the time being and wait until full recovery before using them again. At the same time, maintain local hygiene and dryness, wear loose pants, and you can return to the hospital for a follow-up check-up around half a month later. Additionally, pay close attention to your dietary care, ensure balanced nutrition, and digest nutrients in your body promptly.
