Patient's question:
10 days and still swollenDoctor's answer:
Hello, mild edema of the glans penis within 3-4 days after surgery is a normal phenomenon, but there is individual variation. The cause of edema is due to circumcision, as the blood circulation in the foreskin is relatively rich. After surgery, the blood and lymphatic vessels in the skin are cut, and new circulation pathways need to be established, which can lead to poor drainage and requires time to recover. If it is purely edema, local heat application, rest, and reducing friction can help, and the edema usually subsides.
