What should I do if I get edema after circumcision?

Circumcision is a type of surgery that we are familiar with now. The recovery of the wound after the surgery is a problem that many of our patients are very concerned about. Because many patients will inevitably have some symptoms of wound swelling after circumcision. Once the wound is swollen, it will affect the healing speed of our wound, thus affecting the effect of our treatment. So what exactly causes our patients to finally have symptoms of wound swelling? What should we do if the wound is swollen after circumcision?

First of all, for the above questions, we can understand them through the following three aspects. The first aspect is to look at the cause of wound swelling after circumcision surgery. Generally speaking, mild edema within three days after surgery should be a normal phenomenon for our patients. It may be a body reaction caused by anesthesia and surgery. There is no need to worry about it. Generally, the swelling at this time is pink.

The second aspect is that if our patients find that edema is more serious, this may be due to inflammation of the wound, which is a symptom of the disease. We need to carry out some treatment in time. If the treatment is not appropriate, our surgery may fail because the wound cannot recover.

The third aspect is what to do with wound swelling after circumcision surgery. If it is normal mild edema, generally no treatment is required. We only need to take good care of the wound to prevent the wound from rupture or infection. No other preparations are required.

In addition, after circumcision surgery, patients should not smoke or drink too much. These behaviors are not good for wound recovery, but will make the wound more and more severe. We need to pay attention to all aspects. Helping our body recover is our ultimate goal. I believe that as long as we are willing to persevere, we will succeed in the end.
