I have a little swelling after circumcision.

Is it normal to have a little swelling after circumcision? Circumcision is mainly performed on patients with long foreskin and prepuce. Through surgical treatment, the prepuce adhering to the surface of the glans penis can be removed, so as to avoid the formation of urine scale, which can cause infection and lead to glansitis. Although circumcision is a small surgical treatment, if the patient does not pay attention after the operation, it will also cause adverse symptoms. So, is it normal to have a little swelling after circumcision?

Most of the adverse symptoms after circumcision are caused by poor postoperative medical care or insufficient anti-inflammatory treatment, which may lead to postoperative infection. Postoperative infection may cause some inflammations such as urethritis, prostatitis, cystitis, etc., which may cause increased urination. It is recommended to go to the hospital for follow-up as soon as possible and treat the symptoms as soon as possible to avoid deterioration.

Edema after circumcision is a common symptom. It is normal to have slight edema of the glans penis within 3 to 4 days after the operation, but there are individual differences. The reason for the edema is that after circumcision, the blood circulation in the frenulum of the foreskin is very rich. After the operation, the blood vessels and lymphatic vessels in the skin are cut off, and a new circulation channel is created, resulting in poor circulation, which takes some time. Therefore, the edema that occurs in the part after the operation can generally be restored in 2-3 weeks, and some can last for more than 3 months, but there is no need to worry, and the swelling will certainly disappear after the new circulation is formed. If the edema persists for a long time, you need to go to the hospital for outpatient follow-up to prevent secondary infection. The edema can also be effectively eliminated through treatment.

Generally speaking, mild edema after circumcision is a normal reaction, but it varies from person to person. Generally speaking, it will heal within a week. There are probably many reasons for edema after circumcision in men:

1. Poor venous return after surgery. After circumcision surgery, some superficial venous vessels may be severed, resulting in poor venous return. In addition, if the dressing and bandage are too tight after surgery, mild edema may occur.

2. After circumcision, the blood circulation system in the frenulum is very rich, but the blood vessels and lymphatic vessels of the skin are cut off after the operation, and the new circulation pathway causes poor blood circulation, which takes some time to integrate.

Postoperative medical care is very important. Things to pay attention to after circumcision surgery:

A. It is best to rest for 1-2 days after the operation. You can rest in bed, surf the Internet or read books, etc. Try to avoid walking to prevent bleeding after the operation.

B. Try to avoid thinking about or touching erotic and pornographic magazines, online pictures and videos after the operation. Touching these things can cause the penis to become erect, which can easily cause bleeding after the operation.

C. In terms of diet, try to eat light food and eat less spicy food and strong stimulating food.

D. In order to prevent edema after circumcision surgery, the dressing is usually changed every 3 days. After about 3 days, normal activities are generally not affected.
