Hi there, I had surgery today for paraphimosis. The surgeon left while I was still recovering from the nitrous oxide, so I was unable to talk to her properly about what I need to do next. I would like to know if there are any dangers I should be looking out for now that I have had the operation. My foreskin is a real mess as she had to remove a section of skin to return it to its original position. I have noticed that there seems to be a lot of blood clotting right at the end of the foreskin and the foreskin still seems a little swollen. Also when I urinate, it flows out between the stitches, instead of flowing out where it normally would. I am just wondering whether these things are normal or whether I need to go back to the hospital to get them to check up on it. Also I am concerned that if I have an erection in my sleep, the paraphimosis will occur again. Is this a legitimate concern for someone who has just had this surgery?
Hi, For swollen foreskin you can use MgSo4 solution with bandage around foreskin. Apply antiseptic cream like tobramycin over stitches. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
