Penile skin tear

Penile skin tear mainly refers to the tear of the frenulum of the foreskin. The cause is closely related to excessive sexual activity. In addition to pain, it will also cause bleeding. There are many ways to treat penile skin tear. In more serious cases, it is necessary to consider frenulum surgery for treatment. If the problem is not very serious, local disinfection is required to avoid infection. Let's take a look at the treatment methods for penile skin tear.

For minor frenulum tears, first use mercurochrome for local disinfection, then apply vaseline gauze to the wound, and wrap it with gauze bandages, changing it every other day. For severe injuries, immediate local hemostasis and surgical sutures should be performed. Change the dressing every other day, and remove the stitches after 7 days. In order to prevent wound infection, anti-inflammatory treatment should be carried out during this period, using 800,000 units of penicillin and 0.5 grams of streptomycin, mixed and injected intramuscularly. If you are allergic to the drug, you can take 0.2 grams of norfloxacin orally 4 times a day. Use hemostatic drugs at the same time, such as hemostatic or ancillary blood. In order to prevent penile erection from affecting wound healing, you can take 2 mg of hexenol orally once a night to reduce sexual impulse.

Surgical method

1. Incision: After local anesthesia, push and pull the foreskin slightly toward the base of the penis to expose the frenulum, and then cut the frenulum transversely at the level of the coronal sulcus.

2. Separate the frenulum: Use small scissors to properly separate the frenulum under the skin.

3. Stop bleeding from wounds: Suture the bleeding points and stop bleeding completely to avoid postoperative hematoma.

4. Suturing the incision: Suturing the transverse incision longitudinally. “Z” plastic surgery can also be used to correct a short penile frenulum.

Notes

1. Do not engage in strenuous activities or heavy physical labor in the short term after the operation, avoid drinking irritating foods, and stop riding a bicycle.

2. After the operation, you should rest in the outpatient clinic for half an hour and leave the hospital after the doctor checks that there are no special circumstances.

3. Try to avoid stimulating factors that induce penile erection within half a month to prevent bleeding or discomfort from the wound.

4. If there is a little bleeding or mild edema at the wound after the operation, it is a normal phenomenon and please do not worry about it. If there is any obvious abnormality, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment immediately.

5. Be careful not to wet the bandage when urinating to avoid wound infection.

6. Sexual intercourse should be prohibited within one month after the stitches are removed.

Postoperative care

1. Use antibiotics to prevent and treat infection.

2. Keep the dressing clean and replace it promptly if it is contaminated by urine.

3. Remove the wound sutures about one week after the operation.
