Patient's question:
Four days after the surgery, the bandage couldn't be removed, so the doctor injected anesthesia at the base of the penis to take it off. 14 hours later, the penis is still swollen and a bit painful. Is this normal? When will it start to subside? Will injecting anesthesia at the base of the penis cause any harm in the future?Doctor's answer:
Regarding the swelling of the penis after circumcision, this condition often occurs in many patients, and the treatment is relatively simple. You can try the following methods. First, you can apply mefenamic acid externally. If it works, persist with it daily. If it doesn't, you can switch to applying Ruyijinhuang powder, a traditional Chinese medicine, externally, which is more effective than the first medication. I believe most people know that phimosis and paraphimosis can cause significant harm to men, so it's important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary issues, sticking to a light diet and avoiding irritating foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
