Swelling around the ring nine days after stapler phimosis surgery
1 week ago
It has been nine days since the phimosis surgery using a stapler, and there is swelling around the ring; what should be done now?
Answers (2)
Mild to moderate swelling around the stapler ring is common 9 days after phimosis surgery and usually improves gradually as healing progresses. Keep the area clean, follow your surgeon’s post operative instructions, and avoid activities that may irritate the surgical site.
If the swelling worsens or is accompanied by severe pain, fever, foul smelling discharge, excessive bleeding, or difficulty passing urine, consult your surgeon promptly for evaluation.
