How long after circumcision can I take a shower

With the popularization of scientific knowledge and physical health courses, people have a more rational understanding of physical health and their own reproductive system. For example, regarding the foreskin, many people used to have misunderstandings, thinking that circumcision would affect fertility. In fact, if there is a problem with the foreskin, it will affect the couple's life and cause many diseases. So what should be paid attention to during circumcision, and how long after the operation can you take a shower?

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.

How long after circumcision can you take a shower? This is one of the most concerned issues for male friends. After all, it is a surgery on the reproductive organ, so many male friends feel very nervous. Even many male friends who have undergone circumcision feel very scared for a period of time after the operation. In fact, circumcision is very mature and it is also a minor operation. It is recommended that you do not worry too much. In fact, after circumcision, as long as you take good care of the wound and try to keep a light diet and do not stay up late for a long time, the wound can recover quickly and you can usually take a shower in about a week.

For friends with strong body resistance, the wound heals faster, and bathing after the wound stops bleeding will not cause infection. Therefore, it is recommended that mothers must pay attention to it and perform surgery immediately if they find that their baby has foreskin that is too long. The child's natural repair ability can help the wound recover quickly and try to avoid the occurrence of foreskin problems. In addition, circumcision surgery is a common genital plastic surgery in clinical practice, which can better get rid of the damage caused by the disease, so it is recommended that male friends should actively undergo surgery.

How long after circumcision can I take a shower? When is the best time to circumcise? Based on the above, I believe it is not difficult for everyone to find that circumcision is not recommended in summer. In addition, before the operation, a comprehensive physical examination must be done. There are true and false foreskins. Therefore, during this process, it is recommended that male friends must not judge on their own, and do not be too shy and dare not accept the operation. After all, the harm caused by true foreskin is extremely serious. For health considerations, it must be faced positively.
