Pictures of edema after circumcision

What to do if edema occurs after circumcision? Generally speaking, edema after circumcision is a common symptom. It is normal to have slight edema of the vulva/stem within 3 to 4 days after the operation, but there are individual differences. So, will edema after circumcision heal on its own? Let's understand this question below.

Will penile edema heal on its own?

1. There are many reasons for penis edema during intercourse, but the most common one is prepuce is too long or too long. As we all know, the skin of the male penis is too thin, and the skin at the head of the male genitals is folded inward to form two layers, covering the glans penis, which is called prepuce is too long. Long prepuce means that the prepuce is too long to cover the urethra opening, but it can still be turned outward to expose the urethra opening and the glans penis. If the prepuce opening is narrow or adhered to the head of the male genitals, the prepuce covering the male genitals is too long to be turned up to expose the urethra opening and the head of the male genitals, which is called prepuce is too long.

2. The skin and subcutaneous tissue of the foreskin are loose, with abundant blood vessels and lymphatic vessels, which belong to the peripheral nerves of the human circulatory system. Therefore, the blood and lymph return rate is relatively slow, which is a place that is prone to edema. During sexual intercourse, along with the development of sexual positions, the foreskin is constantly subjected to the impact of upward force, which is particularly obvious when the foreskin is too long or long. In this way, the genital skin is under strong friction stimulation, resulting in obstruction of venous return and edema. In more serious cases, it will continue to cause incarcerated foreskin, which needs to be restored in time to prevent necrosis.

3. In addition, when the foreskin is long or too long, the head of the penis is easy to accumulate dirt, and the latter will produce urine scale together with the secretions of the glandular ducts in the foreskin. The deposition of urine scale can cause balanitis or glans penis inflammation. Over time, the inflammation will continue to make the foreskin mouth smaller and form adhesions with the glans penis, and the secondary condition is acquired foreskin. After suffering from inflammation and adhesion, the chance of developing penile edema during intercourse is greater.
