After circumcision surgery, local edema usually subsides in about 2-3 weeks, depending on the individual.
Circumcision surgery refers to the removal of overly long foreskin tissue and the preservation of foreskin tissue of the right length. After surgery, due to local tissue damage, foreskin edema can occur within 3-5 days after surgery, which can usually gradually subside on its own, usually taking about 2-3 weeks, followed by a change of medication and stitching treatment according to the recovery of the wound. If the penis is erect after the surgery, it may lead to genital congestion, aggravating the degree of foreskin edema and prolonging the time for the foreskin swelling to subside, which may last 3-4 weeks before the swelling can subside.
After circumcision surgery, pay attention to regular checkups and medication changes, add pressure bandages if necessary, keep the wound locally clean and dry, and change underwear regularly. Try to avoid erection of the penis, engorgement and wound dehiscence.
