Patient's question:
I had a circumcision surgery four days ago. The frenulum is still swollen, but it doesn't hurt, just a bit itchy! And today the swelling went down, but just now I noticed it's swollen again. Is that normal?Doctor's answer:
So, local swelling after circumcision surgery usually subsides within 2-3 weeks, although it can last for more than 3 months in some cases. However, there is no need to panic, as the swelling will naturally resolve once new circulation is established. If the swelling persists for an extended period, it is advisable to revisit the hospital to prevent secondary infection. Treatment can also be effective in reducing post-circumcision swelling.
