What should I do if edema occurs after circumcision surgery?

Some male friends usually go to the hospital or clinic for circumcision for their sex life. However, there is no guarantee that there will be no symptoms after the circumcision. Some people will experience edema after the circumcision. What should we do? Next, I will tell you what we should do when this happens.

Treatment

Foreskin edema is a painful swelling of the foreskin. Generally, men with long foreskin or phimosis are most likely to have foreskin edema, especially men with phimosis. Foreskin edema in men can easily cause glans necrosis, so the only way to cure it is to undergo circumcision, but edema may also occur after circumcision.

Usually, the symptoms will subside 3 days after the circumcision, and the wound will heal in 7-10 days. However, during this period, you must be careful not to have "sexual" thoughts to avoid some physiological reactions of the penis that may cause inflammation of the wound. Generally, you can have normal sexual life about one month after the operation.

The reason why edema occurs after circumcision is that circumcision destroys the blood circulation in the foreskin, thus causing edema. This is normal and there is no need to worry too much. Because the blood circulation in the frenulum of the foreskin is relatively abundant, the blood vessels and lymphatic vessels in the skin are cut off after the operation, and new return pathways are established, resulting in poor return, which requires a period of recovery. Generally, mild edema of the glans penis 3-4 days after circumcision is very common. Therefore, it will disappear on its own if you pay attention to maintenance. It should be noted that the time for edema to disappear varies from person to person.

Preventive care

Foreskin edema is a common disease among men. It is not a sexually transmitted disease and you don’t need to have too much psychological pressure. You should treat foreskin edema as soon as possible. You should also pay more attention to it in your daily life.

1. Take a bath frequently and keep your body clean;

2. Change underwear frequently to avoid bacterial growth;

3. Reduce masturbation and sexual intercourse;

4. Prepare some anti-inflammatory drugs, such as erythromycin eye ointment, sulfonamide, etc.

Pathological etiology

Phimosis is one of the complications that may be caused by foreskin being too long. It is more common among young men. Many male friends do not pay much attention to the hygiene of their penis in daily life, which makes the incidence of foreskin edema remain at a very high level.

1. Not paying attention to external genital hygiene.

Because men are busy with work and have bad habits, they don't have much time to pay attention to the hygiene of their external genitals, so they are easily invaded by bacteria. Since the sebaceous glands of the foreskin of young men usually have more active secretions, if men do not pay attention to cleaning the external genitals, or do not turn the foreskin up when cleaning, the secretions of the sebaceous glands of the foreskin will accumulate under the foreskin, thus forming smegma that looks like tofu dregs. Smegma culture bacteria cause foreskin edema.

2. Injury caused by masturbation.

Young men often masturbate because of their strong sexual desire. Sometimes, due to excessively rough masturbation, the foreskin may be damaged to varying degrees. Because of the high excitement during masturbation, the damage is relatively small and may not be noticed, but the wound on the foreskin is easily contaminated by bacteria, causing foreskin edema. The wound on the foreskin is easily contaminated by bacteria, which can cause foreskin edema.

3. Suffering from prepuce that is too long or phimosis, and not undergoing circumcision surgery in time.

Many male friends have the phenomenon of prepuce or phimosis, which is one of the main factors causing prepuce edema. Male friends with prepuce are usually wrapped in the foreskin, and need to turn it up by hand to expose it; male friends with phimosis cannot turn the foreskin up to expose the glans even with the help of hands. I believe that friends who suffer from prepuce edema will understand it after reading it. Suggestion: If you find that you have prepuce edema, you must go for treatment in time, and don't delay it again and again, which will lead to missing the best time to treat prepuce edema.

The above is the relevant article about edema caused by circumcision. I hope that after reading the above article, everyone can have a comprehensive understanding of circumcision, so that if a similar situation occurs in the future, you can face it calmly.
