Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know what's going on, my lower body is feeling very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections either. Could you please tell me what kind of swelling is considered edema after a circumcision?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Edema after circumcision is a relatively common symptom. The cause of edema is the interruption of blood and lymphatic vessels in the skin after circumcision, and the new circulation pathway has not yet been established, leading to poor return of fluid. Therefore, the edema that appears locally after surgery generally recovers within 2-3 weeks, although some cases may take more than 3 months. However, there is no need to panic, as the edema will naturally subside once the new circulation is established.
