What should be checked before circumcision surgery?

The foreskin is an important part of the male penis. Its greatest significance is to protect the male's reproductive health. However, if the foreskin is too long, it will also be a big problem for men, especially affecting the male's sexual function and quality of sexual life. Of course, it will also affect the male's fertility to a certain extent. If the foreskin is too long, you can choose circumcision surgery. So, what do you need to check before circumcision surgery?

1. Routine urine examination:

Routine urine examination is an important examination that cannot be ignored in clinical practice. Proteinuria or formed elements in urine sediment can be found in the early stages of many kidney diseases.

2. Blood function test:

Through the patient's own coagulation function test, including blood hypercoagulability, coagulation, bleeding, and hemostasis, related hazards can be prevented.

3. RT examination of secretions:

This examination method can check whether the patient himself is infected, so as to prevent postoperative infection and bring some related hazards.

4. Routine blood tests:

Blood cell testing can be used to determine whether blood diseases or infectious diseases exist, which is especially important for the diagnosis of acute and chronic infections.

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.

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, carefully choose a good doctor!

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.
