Pictures of edema after circumcision

There are two types of edema after circumcision. One is the initial edema after surgery, which is mainly caused by the trauma of the surgery. Generally, the edema will gradually disappear about a week after the surgery, and no special solution is needed. So is edema after circumcision normal? Let's find out below.

Is edema normal after circumcision?

Some edema after circumcision is normal. If the edema is not serious, oral anti-inflammatory drugs are sufficient. In daily life, pay attention to the following:

1. It is best to rest for 1-2 days after the operation to prevent bleeding.

2. Minimize sexual excitement and genital erection;

3. Avoid spicy and irritating food ingredients, quit smoking and drinking, wear loose clothes, avoid excessive exercise, etc.

4. Use medicines as directed by your doctor to prevent infection.

5. If you feel any discomfort, go to the hospital for follow-up as soon as possible. Generally, you can recover in about a week. You can resume sexual intercourse after a month.

Implementation suggestions: Pay more attention to postoperative matters, such as avoiding walking as much as possible and the use of antibiotics. It is best to have a light diet and eat less greasy and spicy food.

If there is significant edema in the wound more than one month or even two months after the operation, this is generally because the local blood circulation has not been fully established. In this case, it is recommended to apply local pressure bandage.

Or massage, hot compress, etc. can be used to promote the disappearance of edema. Postoperative edema is not a very serious symptom and there is no need to worry too much. Most patients will disappear on their own after local lymphatic return is gradually established.

Causes of Edema

Edema after circumcision may be caused by various reasons.

1. Surgical treatment mainly cuts off the original venous return and blood circulation system of prepuce, resulting in poor venous and tissue fluid return and tissue fluid deposition, which leads to edema. As the wound is repaired and the respiratory system is gradually repaired, the edema will gradually dissipate and ease until full recovery.

2. After the operation, the inner layer of the foreskin is exposed, and the friction between the tender edge beam and underwear, skin, etc. causes edema.

3. Inflammatory edema usually lasts longer and requires anti-inflammatory treatment.

4. After the operation, the bandage is too tight, and the partial flow back is not smooth, causing edema. During the operation, the original narrow ring of the foreskin is removed, and the appropriate size of the equipment model is selected to prevent the narrow ring from affecting the flow back and causing edema.
