How long after circumcision surgery should I stop taking anti-inflammatory drugs?

For men, the penis is a very important organ in the body. The foreskin is the skin attached to the surface of the penis, which is usually wrinkled. When the male penis is erect, the foreskin will be stretched, so as to have sexual intercourse. Whether the foreskin is too long or too short, it will affect the sexual life. At this time, circumcision surgery is needed to solve this problem. Anti-inflammatory drugs have a very significant effect on the healing of wounds after circumcision surgery. So how long after circumcision surgery can I stop taking anti-inflammatory drugs?

Phimosis refers to the condition in which the penis skin covers the glans penis after adulthood, so that the glans penis cannot be fully exposed. It can be divided into true phimosis and false phimosis. True phimosis means that the glans penis cannot be fully exposed even after the penis is erected; false phimosis means that the glans penis cannot be fully exposed at ordinary times, but can be fully exposed after the penis is erected. Phimosis means that the foreskin completely covers the glans penis, and the glans penis cannot be exposed at any time.

Prepuce and phimosis can easily cause the following adverse effects:

Premature ejaculation

The most common case is when the foreskin normally covers the glans penis, but the glans penis is exposed during erection. Since the glans penis mucosa is usually hidden under the foreskin, it is rarely rubbed and stimulated, making the glans penis mucosa nerves overly sensitive. During sexual intercourse, the glans penis is exposed after erection, and when the glans penis and the vagina are rubbed and stimulated, the glans penis mucosa nerves are overly sensitive, triggering premature ejaculation. The premature ejaculation caused is generally treated with progressive delay training to eradicate premature ejaculation.

No ejaculation

Contrary to the reason for premature ejaculation caused by excessive foreskin, non-ejaculation is often caused by foreskin. In this case, because the glans penis is overprotected by the skin, the rich neurotransmission stimulation and the function of stimulating sexual excitement of the glans penis disappear, and the intensity of stimulation required to stimulate ejaculation cannot be achieved during sexual intercourse, so non-ejaculation is likely to occur. This often prevents men from experiencing the joy and pleasure brought by sex.

Affects the development of the glans

In some patients with phimosis, if there are repeated urethral infections, it is easy to cause adhesion between the foreskin and the glans mucosa, affecting the normal development of the glans, and in severe cases, glans deformity.

If it is pseudo-phimosis, after the glans penis is exposed after erection, the foreskin will not cause pressure, pain, or discomfort to the penis, so no surgery is required. Just flip the foreskin open to expose the glans penis and let the glans penis get used to flipping open and exposing, that's all (you can buy medical tape to fix it, and the paper tape will not cause skin allergies), and you can usually get used to it in about two weeks.

Causes penis inflammation

There are abundant sebaceous glands in the foreskin, which can secrete a large amount of sebum. If the foreskin is too long, the secretions of the sebaceous glands in the foreskin cannot be discharged, and the sebum and the sediment in the urine will synthesize into the cheese-like and smelly "smegma". Smegma is suitable for bacterial growth, so it can cause inflammation of the glans penis and foreskin.

Damage to kidney function

Penis inflammation can cause stenosis of the urethra or anterior urethra, resulting in urination difficulties. Long-term urination difficulties will damage kidney function.

Postoperative precautions

1. It is best to rest for 1-2 days after the operation. You can rest in bed, surf the Internet or read books, etc. Try to move less to prevent postoperative bleeding.

2. Try to avoid thinking about or touching pornography, obscene magazines, Internet pictures and videos after the operation. This is because contact with these things will cause the penis to become erect, which can easily cause postoperative bleeding.

3. Generally, it should be changed every 3 days. After about three days, normal activities will generally be fine.

4. In addition to antibiotics, you should also take medications to prevent erection and relieve pain after surgery.

5. You may experience some discomfort in the glans penis after the operation, which is normal. Generally, this feeling will gradually disappear after about a week.

6. The operation takes about 15 to 25 minutes and does not require hospitalization.

7. There will be slight pain and bruising at the wound after the operation. You should take painkillers regularly. It will heal in about 7 to 10 days.

8. Before the wound heals, you should return for regular follow-up examinations.

9. The wound should be kept clean and dry after the operation, and be careful not to wet the gauze when urinating.

10. The wound is sutured with absorbable sutures, so there is no need to remove the sutures.

Circumcision surgery 11. If the penis is erect, please protect the wound with one hand and pinch the glans with the other hand to allow the penis to retract naturally to avoid the wound from splitting.

12. If the wound is swollen, painful and bleeding, you can apply local cold compress and pressure to stop the bleeding; if the bleeding is severe, you should return to the hospital for treatment immediately.

13. Prepare a few extra pairs of underwear for replacement (or buy disposable underwear), because tissue fluid may seep out and dirty the underwear during the recovery period.

14. It is best to avoid sexual thoughts during the recovery period, otherwise the natural physiological reaction will make you suffer! Patients can resume their sexual life one month after the operation.

15. Carefully choose a qualified doctor to perform the surgery, because the doctor's skills will affect the postoperative appearance and recovery process. For minor surgeries on key areas, choose a good doctor carefully!

16. After the operation, try not to get the dressing wet. If it gets wet accidentally during urination, be sure to change it as soon as possible. In normal times, wear loose underwear to reduce friction.

17. You should rest in bed within 3-4 days after the circumcision surgery and avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time as much as possible. You can take certain sedative measures under the guidance of a doctor to prevent penile erection.
