I just had circumcision and my skin is a little swollen.

Is it normal to have a little edema just after circumcision? The treatment of circumcision surgery is mainly carried out for patients with long foreskin and excessive foreskin. Through surgical treatment, the excessive foreskin adhering to the surface of the glans penis can be extracted, which can prevent the formation of urinary tract, which can lead to infection and cause balanitis. Although circumcision is a small-to-medium surgical treatment, if the patient does not pay attention after the operation, it may also lead to adverse symptoms. So, is it normal to have a little edema just after circumcision?

Post-circumcision symptoms are mostly due to poor post-operative care or insufficient anti-inflammation, which may lead to post-circumcision infection. Post-operative infection may cause some inflammatory diseases such as urethritis, prostatitis, cystitis and other symptoms, which may lead to increased frequency of urination. It is recommended to go to the hospital for follow-up consultation as soon as possible and treat symptoms as soon as possible to avoid malignant transformation.

Edema after circumcision is a common symptom. Slight edema of the glans penis within 3 to 4 days after the operation is normal, but there are individual differences. The cause of edema is that after circumcision, the blood circulation system at the foreskin frenulum is very rich. After the operation, the blood vessels and lymph vessels of the skin are disconnected, and new return circulation pathways are established, resulting in poor return flow, which takes some time. Therefore, some edema that occurs after surgery can usually be restored in 2-3 weeks, and may last for more than 3 months. However, there is no need to cause anxiety. Of course, the swelling will disappear after the new circulatory system is formed. If the edema lasts for a long time, you need to go to the hospital for follow-up consultation to avoid secondary infections. The edema can also be effectively eliminated through treatment.

Generally speaking, mild edema after circumcision surgery is a relatively normal reaction, but it varies from person to person and can usually be cured within a week. The causes of edema after male circumcision surgery probably include the following factors:

1. Poor venous return after surgery. After circumcision surgery, some superficial veins may be disconnected, resulting in poor blood flow, and the dressing and bandage may be too tight after surgery, which may cause mild edema.

2. After circumcision, the blood circulation system at the foreskin frenulum is very rich, but after the operation, the blood vessels and lymphatic vessels of the skin are disconnected, and the new return circulation path causes poor return and takes a while to integrate.

Post-operative medical care is very important. Things to pay attention to after circumcision surgery:

A. It is best to rest for 1-2 days after the operation. You can rest in bed, surf the Internet or read a book, etc. Try to avoid walking to prevent bleeding during post-operative activities.

B. After the operation, try to avoid thinking about or touching pornographic magazines, pornographic magazines, Internet pictures and videos. It is very easy to cause bleeding after surgery due to the erection caused by touching this kind of thing.

C. In terms of diet, try to eat light foods and eat less spicy and stimulating foods.

D. In order to prevent edema after circumcision surgery, the dressing is usually changed every three days. After about three days, normal activities usually disappear.
