Patient's question:
I had a laser circumcision surgery five days ago, and there is swelling at the urethral opening. Is this normal? Do I need to go to the hospital? I had the treatment at that hospital, including mist therapy, BOM treatment, and red light therapy. It wasn't swollen before, but it started to swell the morning after the third day of treatment. I was wondering if there are any other convenient ways to handle it? Thank you, I am quite urgent.Doctor's answer:
Generally, it should be normal. Regular visits to a regular hospital to check the wound and change the dressing are sufficient. It's not an infection, it's a normal condition. Don't get excited or have unnecessary worries. If your financial situation allows, you can use red light therapy, which can alleviate the above issues. I believe everyone knows that phimosis can cause significant harm to patients, so it's important to seek treatment as soon as possible. Pay attention to dietary issues in daily life and avoid spicy foods. Maintain a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits can be scheduled when necessary.
