Generally speaking, the swelling of the foreskin under the tether after circumcision may be caused by edema, infection, or lymphatic reflux disorder after surgical operation.
1. Edema caused by surgical operation: clinically, although surgery is a kind of treatment, but it itself has a certain degree of trauma to the body, after circumcision, the foreskin under the ligament may be stimulated by surgical operation, which leads to edema of the tissues, and the swelling usually subsides about 3 to 4 days after the operation.
2. Infection: After circumcision, if you don’t pay attention to the care of the penile area, such as not changing the medicine regularly, it will lead to bacterial infection, which will cause the symptoms of swelling, and may be accompanied by elevated skin temperature, pain, redness.
3. Obstruction of lymphatic return: After surgery, the lymphatic vessels may be blocked, which may cause local lymphatic return obstruction and edema of the tethered ligament.
The above symptoms may also be caused by other factors. It is recommended that patients return to the hospital for a follow-up examination in time to find out the situation and deal with it scientifically.
