What to do if edema occurs after circumcision surgery?

Many male friends will suffer from this or that disease to a greater or lesser extent. It is not terrible to have a disease, but it is terrible to not actively accept treatment when you have a disease. The problem of foreskin can be found in many male friends to a greater or lesser extent. Normally, there will be no impact. If edema occurs after surgery, you should pay attention. Let's take a brief look at the problem of edema after circumcision surgery.

1. It is normal for local edema to occur after circumcision. The disappearance of edema is related to the full establishment of lymphatic return. It usually disappears in about a month. During this period, you should control erection, prevent infection, and avoid friction to facilitate the smooth disappearance of edema. In your case, you may have local infection. After infection, the symptoms of edema will worsen. You need to be examined by a doctor and treated. You cannot apply medicine on your own to avoid affecting the healing process. If the incision has healed, it will not split after the stitches fall off. It is best to go to the hospital for treatment. It is recommended to go to the hospital's urology department for appropriate treatment under the guidance of a doctor to promote the healing of the wound as soon as possible.

2. Take some anti-inflammatory drugs orally appropriately, avoid sexual impulses, and prevent complications such as fissures; observe regularly and change the dressing on time. The local edema after the operation can generally be recovered in 2-3 weeks, and some may last for more than 3 months, but there is no need to panic. The swelling will naturally disappear after a new cycle is formed. If the circumcision is edematous after the operation, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up examination to prevent secondary infection. Red light therapy can also effectively reduce the edema.

3. Edema after circumcision is a common symptom. Mild edema of the glans penis within 3 to 4 days after surgery is normal, but there are individual differences. The reason for edema is that after circumcision, the blood circulation in the frenulum of the foreskin is relatively abundant. After the operation, the blood vessels and lymphatic vessels in the skin are cut off, and a new return path is established, resulting in poor return, which takes some time. Therefore, local edema after surgery can generally recover in 2-3 weeks, and some can last for more than 3 months, but there is no need to panic. After the new circulation is formed, the swelling will naturally subside. If the edema persists for a long time, you should go to the hospital for a reexamination to prevent secondary infection. The edema can also be effectively eliminated through treatment.

4. You can have sex one month after the operation. Do not eat spicy food or irritating food such as chicken, duck, beef, lamb and seafood within two weeks. Keep the wound dry and avoid contact with water.

The above is a relatively simple answer to the question of edema after circumcision surgery. I hope it can help patients. Before the surgery, no matter whether it is a big problem or a small problem, you need to go to a regular hospital for expert consultation. Usually, you should take some anti-inflammatory drugs orally, which is conducive to recovery. Drink more water and eat some fruits to supplement vitamins.
