It has been 8 days since my circumcision surgery, and there is still swelling. What should I do?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Asking if it is normal
Current general condition: Edema with fluid leakage

Doctor's answer:

The edema of the glans penis that occurs after circumcision is a normal phenomenon. It generally takes about half a month to a month to subside. The current edema of the glans penis after circumcision is normal because the wound has not yet fully healed. It is recommended that you continue to rest patiently and wait for it to gradually subside. It is also recommended that you pay attention to postoperative care to prevent infection. It is advisable not to eat irritating foods and to maintain hygiene by cleaning daily.
