What to do if the glans penis is swollen after circumcision

Many men have a problem with foreskin being too long. The most direct and effective way is to have a circumcision. Although circumcision is only a minor operation, it also produces some complications after the operation. The most typical one is the swelling of the glans penis. Abnormalities in this position will definitely make the patient very worried and concerned about the solution. So, what should I do if the glans penis is swollen after circumcision? Let's take a look at the solution to the swelling of the glans penis 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.

Patients should be clear about what to do if the glans penis is swollen after circumcision. After circumcision, it is very easy to have these complications. The harm is not very serious. The key is to take appropriate measures to solve them in time when they occur. Do not use drugs blindly or be very afraid. It may be cured by simply using some anti-inflammatory drugs. There is no need to worry at all.
