The wound after circumcision is a bit hard

With the development of modern medicine and the improvement of people's concepts, more and more people are able to accept circumcision and take the initiative to undergo surgical treatment. In fact, except for the special location of the operation, this operation is fast, has little risk, and is basically painless. The key issue is postoperative recovery. Patients must adjust their diet and pay attention to anti-inflammatory. However, some people will find that the wound is a little hard. Is this festering? What should I do?

If the foreskin is too long and not treated in time, it will often affect the happiness of the couple's sexual life. The foreskin covers the urethra, but can be turned up to expose the urethra and glans penis.

After the age of 15, the mild adhesion between the glans penis and the foreskin disappears on its own, and the penis can be turned up. However, the turned-up foreskin in childhood often covers the urethral opening, and the glans penis gradually becomes exposed during puberty. When the penis of an adult is soft, the foreskin does not cover the urethral opening, and the foreskin can be turned up to expose the coronal sulcus, which is the foreskin of normal length. Excessive foreskin can cause smegma to accumulate in the foreskin, causing balanitis. Repeated inflammation can shrink the foreskin opening and adhere to the glans penis to form a phimosis. Penile cancer may be related to long-term stimulation by smegma.

Therefore, people with phimosis and prepuce that are too long should undergo surgical treatment as soon as possible. It is worth mentioning that although prepuce that is too long has little impact on health, it may sometimes form an incarcerated foreskin due to the narrow foreskin opening, that is, the foreskin is tightly tied to the coronal sulcus of the penis and cannot be pushed down. At this time, it should be manually restored as soon as possible. If manual restoration is not possible, the doctor should be asked to cut the tight foreskin opening and then perform circumcision.

It is very important to choose the best time for circumcision. Because excessive foreskin or phimosis will hinder the development of genitals, leading to genital dysplasia and then causing short genitals, circumcision can be performed when the child is around 8-10 years old.

After circumcision surgery, the incision will scar early and the subcutaneous tissue fibrosis adhesions can be felt to harden. The first sexual intercourse after the operation may cause edema due to poor local subcutaneous blood circulation and poor collateral circulation. These are common phenomena after surgery. However, if this phenomenon occurs for a long time, pus cannot be ruled out. See a doctor and change the dressing in time.
