Patient's question:
The circumcision surgery was done two days ago. After the surgery, I noticed a piece of skin missing from the glans, revealing fresh red meat. A little bit of urination hurts so much that I can't help but cry out. Is this normal for the surgery? Every day, urine floods that area. How can it be fixed? Is there any solution?Doctor's answer:
After undergoing circumcision for excessive foreskin, swelling in the glans area is likely due to poor local lymphatic tissue drainage. Over time, as collateral circulation establishes, this condition will gradually subside and return to normal. Generally, it takes about 3 weeks to reach normal conditions, but it may also delay to around 3 months, varying from person to person.
