It’s been half a year since my circumcision and it’s still swollen

If the circumcision is still swollen after half a year, it may be caused by infection or improper personal care.

After half a year of circumcision, the circumcision has basically fully recovered and normal sexual life can be resumed. However, obvious swelling appears again in about half a year, which is an abnormal situation. It may be caused by excessive sexual life or not paying attention to personal hygiene, which leads to bacterial invasion. In addition, it may also be caused by obvious scar hyperplasia in the local area after the operation, and the blood vessels are damaged and the return flow is blocked. The local area may be accompanied by obvious swelling or pain, and may also be accompanied by increased secretions or foul odor.

If the circumcision is still swollen, you can generally apply erythromycin ointment, which has bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects. It can effectively promote the resolution of inflammation and inhibit the growth of bacteria. In addition, you can also take oral anti-inflammatory drugs, such as amoxicillin or cephalosporins. Symptoms can be relieved after a week of medication, but local changes should be observed at any time.

During the treatment period, you should not have sex. At the same time, you should choose loose and breathable underwear to keep the area dry and clean. Underwear needs to be changed every day. You can expose the underwear to the sun, which can play a sterilizing and anti-inflammatory role. Daily diet is also very important. You cannot smoke, drink, or eat irritating foods.
