Question
How long does it typically take for swelling to appear after a child’s foreskin surgery?
Answer
The swelling after foreskin surgery can vary from child to child, generally beginning to subside around 2 weeks after the procedure. However, some children may experience swelling that lasts up to six months. To alleviate swelling, it is suggested to use 2.5%-3% warm salt water sitz baths, performing them 2-3 times a day for 15-30 minutes each. Please note that each child’s condition and recovery pace may differ, so it is important to follow appropriate care and monitoring under a doctor’s guidance.
