How is there still edema 2 months after circumcision?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
I went on September 30th, and now it's November 23rd. How long will it take to recover completely? Besides edema and the glans always being exposed, sometimes when walking, it hurts like ants are biting.

Doctor's answer:

It is highly likely that this is balanitis preputialis, which is a common complication of circumcision.
Balanitis preputialis: Excess skin left at the frenulum, overly tight re-bandaging, prolonged standing or walking on the day of surgery, etc., can all lead to this condition. If balanitis preputialis recurs, it should be loosened and re-bandaged, and the glans should be moved toward the abdomen while being supported by a "T" bandage. Antimicrobial medications should be used to prevent infection, along with physical treatment.
If the glans is exposed outside due to friction, it may cause itching. In such cases, wearing loose-fitting cotton underwear can help.
Lifestyle care: Rest, infection control treatment, and follow-up if discomfort persists.
The daily treatment for male urological conditions primarily involves medication. Patients can take oral medications while supplementing with vitamins. Additionally, maintaining a regular sleep schedule and avoiding alcohol is recommended. We hope that male urological patients can recover quickly.
