Is it normal to have edema of the glans penis after circumcision surgery?

Common symptoms after circumcision are edema, bleeding, infection, etc. Mild edema usually disappears in about ten days, while more serious edema may take three or four months to disappear. Don't worry too much, there is no need to solve it, it can get better on its own. Edema is caused by a poor circulatory system. Just pay attention to rest and eat less spicy and irritating foods.

1. How do you know if your foreskin is long?

The symptom is that the foreskin is too long and covers the urethra, but can be turned up to expose the urethra and glans penis. Children with long foreskin should pay attention to maintaining daily cleanliness of the part, and clean the scale of the foreskin frequently or every day to avoid inflammation of the glans penis.

If the glans penis is often irritated by inflammation, the prepuce opening may become smaller and adhere to the glans penis, resulting in non-hereditary prepuce. Prepuce length generally does not require surgery, but surgery is required when the prepuce is long and combined with prepuce length.

2. How to know if the foreskin is too long

The symptom of phimosis is that the foreskin of the male genitals is too long and narrow, so that the foreskin cannot be rotated to show the glans penis. There are two types: congenital and acquired. Congenital phimosis refers to the fact that the foreskin is too long and adheres to the middle of the glans penis when the baby is born. After a few months, the adhesion gradually disappears and the foreskin is separated from the glans penis.

For most boys, the foreskin is too long and separated from the glans penis, which can last until puberty. As the male genitals grow and develop and become hard, the foreskin can timidly turn upward and outward to reveal the glans penis.

3. The difference between prepuce being too long and prepuce being too long

To distinguish whether a child has a long foreskin or an excessive foreskin, parents just need to turn over the child's foreskin. If it can be opened to expose the urethra and glans penis, it is a long foreskin. If the foreskin is too long and cannot be opened to reveal the glans penis, it is an excessive foreskin.

In some patients with prepuce redundancy, if there is repeated urethral infection, it is easy to cause the adhesion of prepuce redundancy and glans penis mucosa, affecting the normal growth and development of glans penis, and in more serious cases, glans penis deformity.

If it is a false foreskin that is too long, after the penis head is exposed after erection, the foreskin is too long and will not cause pressure, pain, or discomfort to the male genitals, so no surgical treatment is required. If you open the foreskin to expose the penis glans, and let the penis glans open and expose habitually, that's all (you can choose to buy medical equipment paper tape to fix it, and paper tape is not likely to cause skin allergies), it will generally be completely habitual in about two weeks.
