What causes the swelling and pain of the glans after circumcision surgery?

Patient's question:

I recently don't know why my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I also don't have morning erections anymore. What's the matter with the head of the penis becoming swollen and painful after the foreskin surgery?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, these are normal conditions after circumcision. It is recommended not to overthink other things and avoid erections. If the erection is severe, you can take diethylstilbestrol orally to relieve it, but do not take too much. You can also take Advil to relieve pain. Sleep on your back at night to minimize friction. Actively treat inflammation. Lift the penis upward to promote tissue recovery and lymphatic drainage, which will gradually reduce swelling. You can squat to urinate. Replace wet sterile gauze in a timely manner.
