Patient's question:
My foreskin is a bit long. Is the surgery done through an incision or some other method? Will it swell after the surgery? Will everything be normal after walking right after the surgery? Can I take a shower during the healing period? How many days will it take to heal? Will it be thicker or longer than before? Thank you!!Doctor's answer:
Post- circumcision swelling is a normal phenomenon. It occurs because the blood circulation, which was previously present, is damaged after the foreskin is removed. The new blood circulation has not yet been established. However, this condition gradually improves as the blood circulation stabilizes. It typically disappears within two to three weeks, so there is no need to worry. During this period, it is important to control erections. Excessive foreskin is a relatively common condition, and most cases require surgery. Post-surgery swelling is common, so it is recommended to avoid erections and prevent the penis from hanging.
