Patient's question:
Gauze had been removed early, and the line for refining wasn't completely dropped, leaving some behind. Then, there was some friction with the pants, causing pain and some redness at the sutured area. Things like the glans and the sutured area rubbing against the pants felt very uncomfortable. What could cause redness and swelling after a foreskin surgery?Doctor's answer:
Recovery from circumcision surgery typically takes about 1 week. Generally speaking, sexual activity should not be resumed too soon after the surgery to avoid poor scarring. It is best to wait for 1-2 months, with the condition being that there should be no pain during erection. Circumcision surgery will alter the appearance of the male penis and may also cause discomfort due to friction, which is usually normal. However, you may still experience swelling one month after the surgery, which could be due to poor lymphatic drainage post-surgery or surgical complications. It is best to visit the hospital for a check-up to determine the exact cause and seek further solutions. In addition to symptomatic treatment for urological conditions, patients should also maintain a proper diet in daily life to digest nutrients effectively.
