Patient's question:
I had a circumcision surgery done two days ago. After the surgery, I noticed a piece of skin missing from the head of my penis, revealing fresh red meat. A little bit of urination hurts so much that I'm crying out. Is this normal for the surgery? Every day, urine gets on that area. How can it be fixed? Is there any solution?Doctor's answer:
After undergoing circumcision for excessive prepuce, the swelling in the glans area is likely caused by 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, depending on the individual.
