Dr. Wang Jianlong
Swelling after circumcision surgery usually subsides within about 7 days. For patients with phimosis, timely circumcision is necessary regardless of age or severity of symptoms. Proper dressing after surgery helps reduce the degree of swelling, and using high-quality wound dressings can further lower the incidence of edema. Patients are advised to wear loose clothing after surgery to avoid pressure or compression.
