How long does it take to recover from edema after circumcision surgery?

It is normal to have edema after phimosis surgery. Generally, it will recover within 2 weeks after the stitches are removed (or the ring falls off). There is no need to worry too much. Just release the pressure and maintain an optimistic attitude. If the edema is not severe, it is considered a normal condition. Pay attention to local environmental hygiene, avoid getting the sutured wound dressing wet with urine, and disinfect it with red medicine after each urination. The recovery time depends on the individual situation. Because of individual differences, it will generally recover within 2 weeks to 2 months.

Prevent medical care.

1. Before circumcision surgery, medical staff should pay attention to the daily cleaning of the male genital area and wash it frequently. If the foreskin is too long and cannot be turned up, do not force it to rotate. If it can be turned up and cleaned, the foreskin should be restored to its original position after washing to avoid incarcerated phimosis.

2. If circumcision is performed, the genitals should be cleaned with warm water or 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution 3 days before the operation. In addition to taking the above medications after the operation to prevent genital bleeding and inflammation, you should also pay attention to the dryness of the dressings. If they are wetted by urine, they should be replaced in time. Generally, the stitches are removed 5-7 days after the operation.

Pathological causes of disease.

Some children have a very small foreskin opening, which makes the foreskin too long and should not be treated with caution, as it will hinder the growth and development of the glans penis and even the entire genitals. The external opening of the urethra is also often small, sometimes as small as a pinhole, resulting in urination problems. Children with a long foreskin may have secretions accumulated under the foreskin, which often irritates the mucous membrane and may cause balanitis of the glans penis.

Non-hereditary prepuce is often secondary to glans balanitis and prepuce and glans penis damage. Prepuce scarring muscle atrophy occurs, the elasticity and expansion ability of the skin are lost, prepuce is too long and timid to go up, and is often accompanied by a narrow urethral opening. This type of prepuce is not easy to cure.

Disease diagnosis.

Hidden penis; the patient is obese, the foreskin is too long and bird-beak-shaped, the male genital skin does not adhere to the male genital body, and the male genital extrusion molding experiment is positive.
