The fact that the tether remains edematous one week after circumcision is usually related to more activity after one’s own surgery. More activity after circumcision may lead to localized friction from clothing, causing edema. It is generally recommended to rest and reduce activity after circumcision. During activity, the penis is in a pendulous position, in a relatively low position, therefore, it is easier to cause edema, while rest can ensure that the incision is in a relatively high position, which helps to reduce the occurrence of postoperative edema. In addition, if there is more activity after the surgery, it is possible to cause bleeding from the incision after the surgery, or even have bleeding pooled inside the incision, causing swelling of the tethered ligament and other parts of the body, and in serious cases, it can even lead to infection. Therefore, you should go to the hospital for any abnormalities after the surgery.
