What to do if circumcision surgery causes edema? Here are the scientific methods!

If a man has a foreskin that is too long, dirt will easily accumulate inside the foreskin, which will lead to balanitis and other problems. In addition, a foreskin that is too long will affect the quality of a man's sexual life and cause great harm to his physical and mental health, so a circumcision surgery is required. Some people will experience edema after a circumcision surgery, which may be caused by infection of the wound. How should it be treated at this time?

1. Causes

1. Infectious factors

History of laser or electrocautery surgery on the coronal sulcus and foreskin, resulting in postoperative infection; or other reasons leading to bacterial infection of the foreskin and edema.

2. Allergy factors

This includes mosquito bites, applying medication or using contraceptives, etc.

3. Physical factors

These include sexual abrasions, long-term foreskin inversion and incarceration, excessive washing, and violent trauma.

4. Others

This includes edema caused by chronic balanoposthitis and edema of unknown cause after unclean sexual behavior.

2. Clinical manifestations

The foreskin swells up like a swimming ring around the coronal sulcus, or wraps around the glans penis and swells up like a hemisphere. In severe cases, the surface is translucent. Some patients also have ulcers and erosions of the coronal sulcus, and exudate yellow purulent secretions.

3. Treatment

1. General treatment

(1) Keep the area clean and dry, avoid all kinds of irritation, and clean the glans penis and foreskin daily.

(2) Avoid sexual intercourse and suspend sexual intercourse during treatment. If it is trichomonas or candidal glansitis, both husband and wife should be treated at the same time.

(3) Eat less spicy food and avoid smoking and drinking.

2. Treatment of the cause

For infectious edema, actively treat the infected wound and apply antibacterial drugs systemically; for allergic edema, use antihistamines, glucocorticoids and other drugs systemically.

3. Symptomatic treatment

Edema caused by physical factors can be treated according to symptoms, including surgical de-incarceration and traumatic wound treatment.

4. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

Traditional Chinese medicine has a good effect in treating this disease. The general principle of treatment is to clear away heat, detoxify, astringe and reduce swelling.
