Patient's question:
Is it normal to have some swelling around the foreskin after the stitches are removed from a circumcision? Is it normal for a small amount of blood to flow around the stitches due to nighttime erections? Please help me answer this. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
After the stitches are removed from the circumcision surgery, there is significant local swelling of the foreskin, which may be related to poor drainage of inflammation. Local hygiene can be maintained, and heat therapy can be applied to promote swelling reduction. Medication may be necessary if needed. Gradually, bandaging may no longer be required. I believe most people are aware of the significant harm that phimosis can cause to men, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues, avoiding irritating foods, and maintaining a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary if needed.
