How should children with foreskin edema be treated?

Circumcision is a common plastic surgery, but some edema will occur after the surgery, especially in children. If some edema occurs, it will often cause great pain to the children, so this requires parents to pay more attention to care in normal times. The following will explain to you how to deal with edema after circumcision.

Causes of edema after circumcision: Edema after circumcision may be due to the fact that there is a stenosis ring in the foreskin itself, and the stenosis is not completely cut open. After the operation, the stenosis ring still exists, resulting in poor venous return. Generally speaking, poor lymphatic return can lead to lymphadenopathy, and poor venous return can lead to foreskin edema. Edema after circumcision may be caused by the surgery cutting off part of the superficial veins, resulting in poor venous return. The dressing was too tight after the operation, resulting in poor local blood circulation.

How to quickly eliminate edema caused by circumcision?

1. Go to the hospital in time to remove stitches and change dressings.

2. The wound should be kept clean and dry after surgery, and be careful not to wet the gauze when urinating. So as to avoid wound infection and inflammation.

3. 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.

4. If edema occurs after circumcision, regular follow-up examinations should be conducted before the wound heals. Go to the hospital in time to change the dressing and cooperate with the doctor for anti-inflammatory treatment.

5. 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 shrink to avoid the wound from splitting.

6. 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.

7. If edema occurs after circumcision, you should prepare a few more pairs of underwear for replacement (or buy disposable underwear), because tissue fluid may seep out and stain the underwear during the recovery period.
