Patient's question:
I had a circumcision surgery a few days ago. Now there is redness, swelling, pus discharge, and purple discoloration. I'm experiencing pain and difficulty urinating with a split stream.Doctor's answer:
Edema after circumcision is normal. If dressing changes are delayed or infection occurs with symptoms like pus discharge or wound tearing, prompt treatment is necessary. If only edema is present, it is recommended to use plain water or PPS solution for cleaning in addition to preventive oral antibiotics, which helps reduce swelling.As everyone knows, phimosis and paraphimosis can cause significant harm to patients, so it’s important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, dietary adjustments should be made, focusing on light meals and avoiding irritating foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
