Patient's question:
Patient Gender: FemalePatient Age: 24
I had a circumcision and penile elongation surgery, and I found that my foreskin is swollen! It has been a month, but it hasn't subsided yet. The doctor prescribed a swelling-reducing medication, but after taking it for a few days, I felt very bloated and uncomfortable around my waist. I stopped taking the medication! What should I do?
Doctor's answer:
Hello: Based on your description, it is considered to be caused by postoperative scar hyperplasia. Circumcision surgery is the most prone to edema. Recovery usually takes about half a month if it's good, and if not, it may take more than a month. Generally, scar hyperplasia will gradually soften over time, so there's no need to be too anxious. It is recommended: You can apply povidone-iodine externally for disinfection and pay attention to hygiene. If there is discharge, it is best to go to the hospital for examination. If there are still hard lumps after more than three months, it may be necessary to consider a second surgery.
