Why is there swelling after circumcision surgery?

If a man has a foreskin that is too long, he should of course pay attention to taking circumcision treatment surgery, because a long foreskin is prone to harboring smegma, which will directly affect the male's reproductive health, so it needs to be treated through circumcision surgery. However, some men will find that they have edema after the circumcision surgery, so the following will introduce the reasons to everyone in detail.

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 cause of edema is that after circumcision, the blood circulation in the foreskin is relatively abundant, and the blood vessels in the skin are cut off after surgery. New return pathways have not yet been formed, resulting in poor return. Therefore, local edema after surgery can generally recover in 2-3 weeks, and some can last for more than 3 months. However, 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 follow-up examination to prevent secondary infection. It is recommended that you wear loose and breathable underwear at ordinary times, and keep the glans penis upward to reduce edema.

After reading the above introduction, everyone should now know why foreskin edema occurs after circumcision. I hope everyone can pay attention to these common sense and understand the reasons. Only when we pay attention to these issues can we effectively reduce other effects and harms caused by foreskin edema.
