What to do if you have edema after circumcision surgery

Surgery can treat many diseases in the body, and relief can be obtained after surgical treatment. Circumcision is a common minor surgery for many men, so there is no need to be too nervous during the treatment. According to relevant people, strict care should be carried out after circumcision to avoid side effects, such as edema. So what should be done if edema occurs after circumcision?

· Swelling of the circumcision wound is a common symptom. Mild edema of the glans penis within 3 to 4 days after the operation is normal, but there are individual differences. The reason for the edema is that after circumcision, the blood circulation in the frenulum of the foreskin is relatively abundant. After the operation, the blood vessels and lymphatic vessels in the skin are cut off, and a new return path is established, resulting in poor return, which takes some time. Therefore, local edema of the circumcision can generally recover in 2-3 weeks, and some can last for more than 3 months, but there is no need to panic. After the new circulation is formed, it will naturally stop swelling.

· There are cases where edema is not completely eliminated 3 months after circumcision. The main reasons are that local lymphatic drainage is not fully established, early and frequent sexual intercourse, and frequent inappropriate stimulation of the incision site. Therefore, after surgery, you should be careful to avoid stimulating activities on the foreskin wound.

If the wound is swollen due to wound inflammation, you can use physiological saline to rinse the wound, and then apply iodine to disinfect the wound. If the foreskin wound cannot heal for a long time, you can use Yu's Wound Healing Recipe to treat the wound, which can reduce inflammation and swelling and promote rapid healing of the wound.

· If the patient's foreskin wound is severely swollen, some diuretic and anti-edema drugs can be used for auxiliary treatment. Precautions for wound care after circumcision surgery · Take good care of the wound after surgery. In addition to antibiotics, you should also take drugs to prevent erection and relieve pain (such as Premarin, Sometone, etc.). If the wound is swollen, painful and bleeding, you can apply cold compresses and apply pressure to stop bleeding; if the bleeding is severe, you should return to the hospital immediately for treatment.

· The wound should be kept clean and dry after surgery, and be careful not to wet the gauze when urinating. There will be slight pain and bruising at the wound after circumcision surgery. Painkillers should be taken regularly. It will heal in about 7 to 10 days. The wound is sutured with absorbable sutures, so there is no need to remove the sutures.

· It is best to rest for 2-3 days after the operation. You can rest in bed, surf the Internet or read books. Try to move as little as possible to prevent postoperative wound infection and bleeding. Change and wash your underwear, keep the wound clean and dry, and maintain a good and positive attitude, so that you can recover soon!
