Patient's question:
[Medical Description: I felt uncomfortable and went to a well-known urology hospital for a circumcision. The surgery was done on the 3rd, and the stitches were removed on the 9th. It has been 4 days since the stitches were removed, and the frenulum is still swollen and shows no signs of subsiding. Past Treatment and Effect: During treatment, shortwave therapy and intravenous fluids were administered for the first few days, followed by red light therapy, chemical treatment, and continuous intravenous fluids for a week. Desired Help: I want to ask if it's normal for the frenulum to still be swollen 4 days after the stitches are removed, how long it will take to subside, and if there are any effective methods.]Doctor's answer:
Hello, this situation is a normal phenomenon after circumcision. After the surgery, the wound may experience local edema. During the recovery phase, the edema will be absorbed naturally. As the wound heals, the symptoms will gradually disappear. It is best not to worry, and maintain cleanliness and dryness around the foreskin. When changing dressings, it must be done under the guidance of medical personnel to avoid secondary wound infection. Pay attention to getting adequate rest, controlling erections, and it is best to avoid erections altogether.
