What is the method to reduce swelling after circumcision?

According to statistics, one in five men has a prepuce that is too long. Although this condition does not affect the body, if the foreskin is not cleaned in time, it will cause a lot of smegma to accumulate inside the foreskin, which can easily lead to infection and even cancer in severe cases. Now, a small surgery can improve the problem of prepuce that is too long. There are several ways to reduce swelling after circumcision.

1. Drink less water and don’t hold your urine

After the circumcision, we try to reduce all external stimulation to the wound until it is completely restored to normal. The most important point is to drink less water and reduce the discharge of urine. But we need to pay attention to that, drink less water and urinate less, but don't hold your urine because you are afraid of pain.

2. No smoking and no drinking

As mentioned above, after the circumcision, we should try to reduce the stimulation to the wound, especially not drinking alcohol or smoking, which will aggravate the inflammation. And if you need to take some inhibitory drugs after the operation, drinking alcohol and taking the drugs will have side effects!

3. Don’t eat spicy food

The wound after circumcision surgery is prone to infection, inflammation and swelling. If the patient still does not pay attention to diet at this time and chooses irritating food, which leads to irritants such as urine and makes the inflammation worse, the result will be that the patient himself will suffer terribly.

4. Avoid external stimulation

Normal men have several or even more sexual impulses every day, which is a normal physiological reaction, but for patients who have just undergone circumcision surgery, it is a disaster. What we need to do is to reduce external stimulation and stay at home to face the wall and be quiet.

5. Taking inhibitory drugs

Normally, doctors will not recommend patients to take erectile dysfunction drugs after circumcision surgery last night, and patients themselves will not choose to do so due to cognitive problems. However, taking such drugs will not leave any sequelae, so you can choose to take them according to the situation.

6. Oral and topical anti-inflammatory drugs

If the inflammation is severe, the swelling is difficult to control with auxiliary methods. It is recommended to take anti-inflammatory drugs. You can also apply, spray, or sprinkle common anti-inflammatory drugs on the surgical wound. Timely replacement can also achieve the effect of anti-inflammatory and analgesic.
