Inflammation after preputioplasty Posted: 07-03-08 08:02am
hey i had a preputioplasty on monday
afternoon, where 2 incisios were made on
the band to relieve my tight forskin.
the surgeon and nurses said it would look
"like a dogs dinner" and it certainly
does
it is now thursday and my my forskin is
still swollen in 2 points with cuts either
side of it, also their is alot of redness
on the penis. i am unable to see the head
yet as when bathing i just let it soak as
it is still to swollen and i dont want to
interfere with the stitching,
is this sort of swelling normal after a
preputioplasty operation and how long does
it usually take to calm down? i just want
to reasure myself.
cheers

Current medical status: had preputioplasty
on monday evening, still have severe
swelling redness and bruising
Current medical treatment: tramadol
hydrochloride capsules - painkillers
diclofenac sodium enteric coated capsules
- anti inflamitary paracetamol
It is normal to have inflammation
(swelling, redness, and pain) after
preputioplasty on the places where
incisions were made and stitches were
installed. It is not normal if there is
also an infection (pus coming out from the
incision) which makes the inflammation
more severe. If there is no additional
infection, the inflammation should calm
down in 2 weeks but if there is an
infection the inflammation will last as
long as the infection lasts.
