Things to note after circumcision surgery, scientific care to speed up healing

Many men have phimosis. Excessive foreskin affects male fertility. If not treated in time, it will lead to infertility. Circumcision is the most common treatment. There are some precautions before and after the operation. After the operation, pay attention to bed rest and wear loose underwear.

1. Wear loose underwear. Generally, after the operation, the doctor will place a gauze curtain on the perineum after bandaging the wound to reduce the friction of the glans penis.

2. After circumcision, you should rest in bed for 3-4 days and avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time. Some young people are too embarrassed to ask for leave after surgery and still insist on working. Due to poor local blood circulation, the penis head swells directly, affecting the healing of the wound.

3. It is normal for the glans to have mild edema within 3 to 4 days after circumcision. This is a reaction of the body caused by the medicine and surgery. Note that the swelling is pink at this time.

4. Do not wet the dressing when urinating. If it has been soaked by urine, it should be replaced as soon as possible . You can prepare 75% alcohol or 1:1000 new gentamicin cotton balls or isotonic saline cotton balls, wipe the area around the urethra after urinating, keep the wound dressing clean, or soak the head of the penis in 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution in warm water every day.

5. Take sedatives such as diazepam 2.5 mg before going to bed within 3 to 4 days after the operation to prevent penile erection and cause pain or bleeding. Young people should pay more attention to it, because the nerve endings of the penis head are very sensitive after being covered for a long time. Once exposed, it is easy to get an erection, so they should avoid reading erotic books and watching erotic TV. Lovers should temporarily avoid hugging, kissing, etc. to avoid sexual stimulation.

Men's experts say: Generally, it will heal in seven to ten days, but normal body movement will not cause harm. After the treatment, it is better to wear loose and breathable underwear, and keep the glans upward to reduce edema. Whether medication is needed, please make scientific arrangements under the guidance of the doctor!
