Do I need to shave my hair after circumcision?

The problem of foreskin being too long troubles many men. Many people are ashamed and think it is a physical defect. They don’t want to talk about it or get treatment. This idea is wrong. If you don’t get surgery for a long time, it will not only hurt your body but also your partner and affect the harmonious relationship between husband and wife. Some people will consider the cost, and some people will consider whether to shave. So let’s talk about it below?

First of all, we need to explain the difference between prepuce and phimosis: when the foreskin covers the glans penis and can be turned up without erection, it is called prepuce; when the foreskin cannot be turned up, the glans penis cannot be exposed, and only the urethra opening is exposed, it is called phimosis. If it is phimosis, it must be treated surgically to avoid affecting the normal development of the penis, causing erectile pain, ejaculation difficulties, etc.; if the prepuce is too long and the glans penis is exposed after erection, and there is no other urinary discomfort, it can be observed without surgery.

Let's talk about the harm: Phimosis is much more harmful to the human body than prepuce. In some severe cases of phimosis, the foreskin opening is as narrow as a pinhole, and the foreskin bulges like a ball during urination, which makes urination difficult. Due to the narrowness of the foreskin and urethral opening, the bladder sphincter contracts during urination, and the internal bladder pressure exceeds the pressure that the bladder's Mao sheath can withstand before or at the same time as overcoming the urethral resistance. Urine refluxes along the ureter, and the ureter and renal pelvis dilate, causing bacterial infection of the upper urinary tract and scar formation, leading to secondary reflux nephropathy and even kidney function damage.

Do I need to shave my hair after circumcision? The patient needs to shave before the circumcision. If not, it will affect the disinfection of the foreskin and private hair. Therefore, all the private hair needs to be shaved before the circumcision. Generally, the doctor will tell the patient in advance and provide a scraper for shaving.

How much does circumcision cost? The cost of circumcision cannot be generalized, because each patient's condition is different, so the drugs used during the operation will be different, which has a direct impact on the cost. The different hospitals chosen by the patients also have a great impact on the cost. Different hospitals have different charging standards. Regular hospitals may charge a little higher, but the success rate and safety of circumcision are also higher. Therefore, when choosing a hospital, don't just consider the cost issue, but also the safety and success rate of the operation. So it's best to go to a regular hospital for circumcision treatment.

Is shaving required for circumcision? Circumcision surgery requires shaving, which can better disinfect the foreskin and the genitals. In addition, circumcision surgery requires anesthesia for the patient, so the patient will not feel pain. When choosing a hospital, the cost of a regular hospital may be higher, but the success rate of the surgery will be higher and the risk will be lower.
