What should I do if the wound hurts after a circumcision?

Patient's question:

I had a circumcision surgery two days ago. Today, the wound is a bit painful and slightly swollen. Is this normal? What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

This is normal. There may be pain and swelling at the wound site. Severe GT can also cause swelling, and some may even peel off a layer of skin. Generally, it will gradually subside after 5 days. The swelling at the wound site may take 2-3 months to fully disappear. If you have a good constitution, it may subside within a month. Currently, in addition to daily disinfection and oral anti-inflammatory medication, it will gradually improve.
