What to do if the glans penis becomes swollen after circumcision

The harm caused by excessive foreskin to men is relatively serious. The first thing that will appear is definitely glans inflammation, and the greatest harm may affect male fertility. Therefore, if there is excessive foreskin, circumcision is generally used to solve it, and some complications after the operation have caused great trouble to many men. So, what should I do if the glans edema occurs after circumcision? Let's take a detailed look at the solution to glans edema after circumcision.

1. Bleeding:

It is usually caused by incomplete hemostasis during surgery or loose ligature. The most common bleeding sites are the superficial dorsal vein of the penis and the frenulum of the prepuce. Bleeding from the superficial dorsal vein of the penis is prone to hematoma, and bleeding from the frenulum of the prepuce often results in blood flowing out of the wound, and may also form hematoma under the skin. If this symptom occurs, you should seek medical attention immediately.

2. Infection:

Failure to effectively control inflammation of the foreskin and glans penis before surgery, mistaken circumcision for those with incarcerated foreskin, lack of attention to aseptic operation or rough surgical operation, and urine contamination of the wound after surgery can all lead to wound infection. After infection occurs, some sutures should be removed to allow drainage, bed rest, and medication should be applied.

3. Edema of frenulum:

Too much skin is left at the frenulum, the bandage is too tight, standing or walking for too long on the day after the operation, etc. If edema of the frenulum occurs, the bandage should be loosened, the glans penis should be moved to the side of the abdomen, supported with a "T" belt, and drugs should be used to prevent infection, as well as physical therapy.

4. Improper circumcision:

If the foreskin is removed too much, it will affect the erection of the penis after the operation. In severe cases, skin grafting can be performed to correct it. If the foreskin is removed too little, the foreskin will still cover the glans penis after the operation. If the foreskin is turned upward without any difficulty, it can be turned over and cleaned frequently. If it is still not turned over satisfactorily or the infection still occurs repeatedly, circumcision can be performed again.

Male friends should be clear about what to do if the glans penis is swollen after circumcision. Although circumcision is a minor operation, it is easy to have various adverse reactions after the operation. Good hospitals will handle it properly based on experience and the patient's condition. This is why it is recommended that everyone go to a regular andrology hospital for surgery. Symptoms after the operation are not too serious and will be fine if they are treated in time.
