Patient's question:
Patient: Male, 23 years oldCurrent Condition:
1 Underwent a circumcision surgery four days ago using the American ion knife method.
Post-surgery, two sessions of red light anti-inflammatory treatment and intravenous fluid management were administered. Currently, there is still some edema.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, swelling after circumcision is a normal phenomenon and there is no need to worry. Pay attention to the following in daily life:1. Rest for 1-2 days after the surgery to avoid bleeding.
2. Avoid sexual stimulation that may cause an erection of the penis.
3. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, quit smoking and alcohol, wear loose clothing, and avoid strenuous exercise.
4. Follow the doctor's advice for wound dressing changes and follow-up checks after the surgery.
5. Use medication as prescribed to prevent infection.
6. If any discomfort occurs, seek medical attention early for follow-up. Generally, recovery takes about a week. Sexual activity can be resumed after one month, and so on.
