Patient's question:
Hello!I had a circumcision surgery on December 2nd. After the surgery, I was not given any medication. Until December 7th, I noticed that the head of my penis had turned red and purple, so I went to the hospital. They then prescribed an anti-inflammatory drug called "Vipu." On December 19th, they prescribed "Hengsen Gatifloxacin Tablets" from Jiangsu Haosen Pharmaceutical, batch number H200300017. I took it for three days as the doctor instructed, but my symptoms did not improve! It has been 22 days now, and my penis is still swollen, but the doctor said it's nothing and stopped my medication. I am very worried, so I came to consult. Thank you!
First follow-up question: To address this issue,
Doctor's answer:
Edema after circumcision surgery is normal, and the local discoloration is also caused by surgical stimulation. Generally, it is not necessary to bandage for about six to seven days. You can use povidone-iodine for cleaning and disinfection to maintain local cleanliness and dryness. I believe everyone knows that phimosis and paraphimosis can cause significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues, with a focus on a light diet and avoiding irritating foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
