Patient's question:
During the circumcision surgery, the doctor said: "Since the foreskin has covered the glans for 27 years, the glans has not developed well, and it is relatively small."Question: After circumcision surgery, can the glans still develop? Can it gradually grow a bit more (at 27 years old)?
Doctor's answer:
After the glans is exposed, it may feel larger. Edema after foreskin surgery is a relatively common symptom. Mild swelling of the glans within 3 to 4 days after surgery is normal, but there is individual variation, and it takes some time to recover as new circulation forms, after which the swelling will naturally subside.Recommendations: Avoid spicy and irritating foods, refrain from alcohol, and abstain from sexual activity for one month. If the swelling persists for an extended period, it is recommended to revisit the hospital to prevent secondary infection. Effective treatment can also help reduce the swelling.
