Swelling of the glans penis after circumcision surgery

Circumcision is a common male surgery. When a man has a foreskin that is too long, he can have a circumcision for the health of his penis and body. Before the surgery, you should communicate with your doctor and learn more about the precautions after the surgery. This will help the wound heal. After the circumcision, the glans will generally become red and swollen. You should rest more. If the condition is serious, you should go to the hospital for treatment.

Note 1

After the operation, temporarily stop some vigorous sports and riding sports, such as cycling, horse riding, etc., to avoid affecting the wound. Rest in bed for 2-3 days after the operation. Do not stand or sit for a long time. Sitting for a long time will lead to poor local blood circulation, swelling of the glans penis, and is not conducive to wound healing.

Note 2

Try not to drink or drink less water before going to bed at night, and do not hold urine at night to avoid erection. If you have erection symptoms, you can get out of bed and move around, urinate, and relieve your nervousness. You should wear loose cotton underwear to reduce the friction of the glans penis and keep the perineum fresh and breathable, which is conducive to smooth blood circulation.

Note three

The time and precautions for bathing after surgery should be strictly followed by the doctor. Do not touch the genitals when bathing, do not let the wound dressing get wet, and protect the wound. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the wound. Urinate in time after surgery to avoid urine retention.

Note 4

After the wound is sutured, do not have sex within one month and keep the wound dry. If the gauze wrapped around the wound falls off or becomes wet, replace it in time to avoid infection. At the same time, do not wear tight underwear.

Note five

After the operation, do not watch TV or read books that are highly stimulating. During the recovery period after the operation, you should keep your mind and body pure and avoid impulsive erections. Erection will tear the wound and delay the recovery time of the wound. Maintain a correct sleeping posture. You can sleep flat or on your side to avoid pressing on the wound.

Note 6

Pay attention to your diet after surgery. Be careful not to eat spicy, cold, greasy, or seafood foods. Keep your diet light but nutritious. Eat more vegetables and fruits to help the wound heal.
