Post- circumcision dressing changes and bruising in the foreskin

Patient's question:

Two days later, can I change the dressing myself according to their method? After the surgery, there is edema and blood under the foreskin. Is this normal or should I seek treatment immediately? I'm not quite sure, please guide me, doctor!

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it is caused by bleeding from small blood vessels after surgery. A small amount of bleeding is usually not a problem, but if there is significant bleeding, it needs to be treated at the hospital. Post-surgery, changing the dressing 2-3 times is generally sufficient. Anti-inflammatory dressings are necessary to prevent infection. Red light therapy depends on your specific condition and is usually not required.
