Redness after circumcision

Patient's question:

Postoperative redness, swelling, and a sensation of impending necrosis under the glans.

Doctor's answer:

Generally, after a circumcision surgery, the glans head may turn red in 3 days, which is likely related to inflammation and congestion. Regular disinfection, dressing changes, and the use of anti-inflammatory medications can be applied for observation.
Recommendations:
It is recommended to avoid spicy and irritating foods, maintain a light diet, and use povidone-iodine for cleaning and disinfection. Regular urology department dressing changes, intravenous administration of cefalexin antibiotics or levofloxacin, and other medications may be applied.
