Patient's question:
I have a long foreskin, and there is residual urine inside, which has a bad odor. When my penis is erect, the glans cannot be exposed, and I cannot have sex. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it was phimosis and performed surgery. It has been swollen ever since.What kind of help do I need: Is it normal for the glans to be swollen after phimosis surgery?
Doctor's answer:
It's not normal for this situation to occur again. Don't worry too much. Local edema after a male circumcision surgery usually resolves within 2-3 weeks, although it can sometimes last for more than 3 months. However, there's no need to panic, as the swelling will naturally subside once the new circulation is established. The doctor recommends that if you experience swelling again after a circumcision, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up examination to avoid secondary infection. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
