I'm still swollen after circumcision for three months.

Circumcision is one of the most common physiological surgeries for men. Many men ask if the surgery will be painful. After all, it is related to their future. They are also afraid of leaving any shadows during the surgery. In fact, anesthesia will be given during the surgery, so you will not feel any pain. The key is to pay attention to the recovery after the surgery. If the recovery is not good, you have to go to the hospital again. What should I do if I am still swollen after three months of circumcision?

First of all, we need to explain the difference between prepuce and phimosis: when the foreskin covers the glans penis and can be turned up without erection, it is called prepuce; when the foreskin cannot be turned up, the glans penis cannot be exposed, and only the urethra opening is exposed, it is called phimosis. If it is phimosis, it must be treated surgically to avoid affecting the normal development of the penis, causing erectile pain, ejaculation difficulties, etc.; if the prepuce is too long and the glans penis is exposed after erection, and there is no other urinary discomfort, it can be observed without surgery.

Let's talk about the harm: Phimosis is much more harmful to the human body than prepuce. In some severe cases of phimosis, the foreskin opening is as narrow as a pinhole, and the foreskin bulges like a ball during urination, which makes urination difficult. Due to the narrowness of the foreskin and urethral opening, the bladder sphincter contracts during urination, and the internal bladder pressure exceeds the pressure that the bladder's Mao sheath can withstand before or at the same time as overcoming the urethral resistance. Urine refluxes along the ureter, and the ureter and renal pelvis dilate, causing bacterial infection of the upper urinary tract and scar formation, leading to secondary reflux nephropathy and even kidney function damage.

It is best to rest for 1-2 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 bleeding. Try to avoid thinking about or touching pornography, pornographic magazines, online pictures and videos after the operation. Because contact with these things causes the penis to become erect, it is easy to cause postoperative bleeding. After the operation, except for children who need to be hospitalized for a short period of time for safety considerations, most patients can still do their daily work and do not need to be hospitalized.

Patients in the early and adult stages of the operation will experience swelling, pain and bleeding at the wound due to penile erection after surgery. If the bleeding is minor, only local cold compress and pressure can stop the bleeding. If the bleeding is severe, the patient should return to the hospital for treatment immediately.

Swelling of the glans may be caused by poor local lymphatic drainage. With the passage of time, the collateral circulation is established, and this condition will gradually disappear and return to normal. Normal conditions can be achieved in about 3 weeks, but it may be delayed to about three months, and the specific situation varies from person to person. Usually, you should pay attention to local hygiene to keep it clean and dry, wear loose pure cotton underwear, and temporarily refrain from sexual intercourse if edema is obvious. Be sure to pay attention to rest and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, pay attention to skin cleaning and moisturizing, drink more boiled water, promote smooth bowel movements, relax yourself, and pay attention to the combination of work and rest in life.
