I still have edema two months after circumcision. What's going on?

It has been two months since the circumcision and there is still edema. This phenomenon is very confusing for some people who have just undergone circumcision. Circumcision is a very minor operation and basically does not cause any harm to the human body. However, this phenomenon in some men makes people very worried about the safety of circumcision. Let’s take a look at the introduction of why there is still edema two months after the circumcision.

It is normal to have edema after circumcision surgery, especially in the frenulum area. It is important to avoid activities as much as possible after the surgery. It is best to lie flat more often and let your baby be in a higher position, which is conducive to reducing swelling. If hot compresses can reduce swelling faster, you can take amoxicillin for treatment.

It takes about 1 week to recover after circumcision. Generally speaking, it is not advisable to have sex too soon after surgery to avoid poor healing. It is best to have sex 1-2 months later, when there is no pain after erection. After circumcision, the appearance of the male penis will change, and there will be discomfort due to friction, which is generally normal. However, you may still have edema two months after the surgery, which may be due to poor lymphatic return after surgery or caused by the operation.

If circumcision edema persists for such a long time, it is possible that it is caused by inflammation. Secondly, it is possible that it is caused by the surgical technique. If it is caused by inflammation, you can use potassium permanganate to clean and reduce inflammation, but do not use saline. If it is a problem with the surgical technique, it cannot be treated.

From the above introduction, it is normal to still have edema two months after circumcision surgery, because this is a natural edema phenomenon, which can usually be recovered in about two months. Therefore, male friends do not need to worry too much about it. As long as the wound is well protected and disinfected regularly, this phenomenon can be solved.
