If a man has a long foreskin, he needs to undergo circumcision surgery. After surgery, edema may occur: penile edema, glans edema. Purposeful medical care after surgery is very important. You need to pay attention to follow the doctor's specific instructions to avoid postoperative complications. How to eliminate edema after circumcision surgery?

Edema after phimosis surgery needs to be resolved by local pressure bandaging. About a week after the surgery, the edema will be relieved appropriately. The cause of edema may be that a small amount of anesthetic is left over during local anesthesia, or that the local anesthetic damages the nearby venous blood vessels, causing hemorrhage and accumulation of blood in the subcutaneous tissue, leading to edema.

Edema after surgery is actually quite common. It can be relieved with medication and treatment, without too much mental stress. During the entire operation, pay attention to protecting the subcutaneous lymphatic vessels and blood vessels, which can alleviate the edema caused by poor blood circulation. According to surgical treatment, the foreskin is usually kept at around one centimeter, and the wound needs a certain amount of time to heal.

Some men experience significant edema after circumcision surgery, which lasts for a long time, but this is not abnormal. After all, it takes time for the blood circulation to recover after surgery, and some young patients often have erections at night and in the early morning, which causes the corpus cavernosum to become congested and swollen. You can protect the wound with one hand and pinch the glans penis with the other hand to make the male genitals dissipate naturally to prevent the wound from cracking.

The wound should be kept clean and dry after the operation. Be careful not to wet the gauze when urinating. The wound will be slightly painful and swollen after circumcision surgery. You should take painkillers regularly. It will heal in about 7 to 10 days. The wound is sutured with digestible and absorbable sutures, so there is no need for surgical removal of the sutures.

It is best to rest for 2-3 days after the operation. You can rest in bed, surf the Internet or read books, etc. Try to avoid walking to prevent postoperative wound infection and bleeding. Change your underwear frequently, keep the wound clean and dry, and maintain a stable and positive mental state, so that you can take care of your body!
