What to do if the glans circumcision surgery causes edema

If a man has a foreskin that is too long, he needs to undergo a circumcision. After the operation, there will be slight edema in the penis area, which is a normal symptom. Patients should not be too alarmed and should emphasize maintenance and care, especially avoiding water and avoiding urine from getting on the wound area when urinating. In addition, if the edema is severe and severe pain occurs, you must go to the hospital for a follow-up examination in time.

Postoperative care points should be carefully

1. The operation takes about 20 to 30 minutes and does not require hospitalization.

2. There will be slight pain and bruising on the wound after the operation. You should take painkillers regularly and it will heal in about 7 to 10 days.

3. Before the wound heals, regular follow-up examinations should be conducted.

4. The wound should be kept clean and dry after surgery, and be careful not to wet the gauze when urinating.

5. The wound is sutured with absorbable sutures, so there is no need to remove the sutures.

6. If the penis is erect, please protect the wound with one hand and pinch the glans with the other hand to hurt it, allowing the penis to naturally subside to avoid the wound from splitting.

7. If the wound is swollen, painful and bleeding, you can apply local cold compress and pressure to stop the bleeding; if the bleeding is severe, you should return to the hospital for treatment immediately.

8. Prepare a few extra pairs of underwear for changing (or buy disposable underwear), because tissue fluid may seep out and stain your underwear during the recovery period.

9. During the recovery period, it is best to avoid sexual thoughts, otherwise the natural physiological reaction will make you suffer! One month after the surgery, patients can resume their sexual life.

10. Carefully choose a qualified physician to perform the surgery, as the physician's skills will affect the postoperative appearance and recovery process.

Don't do these things after circumcision

1. Within one month after the operation, you must avoid contact with sexual stimulation and erection to prevent the incision from splitting, bleeding and infection. If an erection occurs, take a deep breath and seek medical attention if necessary.

2. After the operation, try not to get the dressing wet. If it gets wet accidentally during urination, be sure to change it as soon as possible. In normal times, wear loose underwear to reduce friction.

3. You should stay in bed and rest within 3-4 days after the circumcision operation. Try to avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time. You can take certain sedative measures under the guidance of a doctor to prevent penile erection. Young people, in particular, must pay attention. It is normal to have slight edema during these three to four days, but if the edema is too severe, you should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.
