Why do circumcision wounds not heal?

Many men's lives are affected by foreskin that is too long. In this case, they need to undergo circumcision. It is very important to take good care of the wound after circumcision. Some people's wounds never heal after circumcision. In this case, it is possible that the wound is caused by inflammation and edema.

1. Infection

After the foreskin of patients with prepuce is removed, the wound will heal on its own in about a week. Of course, the healing of the wound depends on the individual situation, but if it does not heal for a long time, you should consider whether there are abnormal conditions such as infection. Infection is mostly caused by the patient's own factors, such as not paying attention to the dryness of the wound, not changing the dressing regularly, not cleaning the wound after urinating, not changing underwear, etc., which can easily lead to wound infection. If the patient does not undergo surgery in a regular hospital, it is also easy to have iatrogenic infection. There is no concept of aseptic operation during the operation, or the wound is contaminated during the dressing change, which can also lead to infection. Infection is a common cause of non-healing wounds.

2. Systemic factors

Systemic factors Systemic conditions include old age, malignant diseases, diabetes, low plasma protein, anemia, hepatorenal insufficiency, perioperative use of glucocorticoids, etc., which may affect wound healing. Of course, it is generally recommended to have surgery after puberty and before marriage for prepuce, so this kind of wound non-healing caused by systemic diseases will not occur. Penile erection causes wound dehiscence Some patients have hypersexuality and will have an erection with a little stimulation. This is also one of the reasons why the wound never heals. Such patients can take sedatives as prescribed by the doctor to prevent penile erection from causing wound dehiscence.

3. Note

Eat more fruits and vegetables: After circumcision surgery, the diet should be light. Drink more water, and drink water in a proper way. Drink more water during the day and less water at night, otherwise it will be very torturous to always get up to urinate at night. You can also drink some cool and refreshing tea, which can suppress sexual impulses, reduce desires, and help wound healing.

Spicy food: After surgery, it is best not to eat spicy food, nor fishy things such as beef, mutton and seafood. Seafood and spicy food are too irritating. If you take too much, the wound after surgery will be constantly irritated, which may cause inflammation and bring pain to the patient.

No alcohol: Do not drink alcohol. Friends who like to drink should pay attention. They must resist the temptation of alcohol during the recovery period of surgery, because alcohol will dilate blood vessels. Drinking alcohol may cause the penis to erect, which will cause rupture and bleeding of the circumcision wound.
