Preparing for circumcision

Circumcision is a symptom that is relatively simple to treat in our daily life. The operation only takes 20 minutes. Generally, there is no need to stay in the hospital after the operation. It can effectively prevent infection of the glans penis, so we recommend that you should make good preparations before the operation. The preoperative preparations for circumcision include cleaning the reproductive organs and eliminating tension. It is best to perform the operation on an empty stomach.

Circumcision refers to the removal of excess foreskin on the penis to expose the glans penis. It is an effective treatment for phimosis, prepuce hyperplasia and its complications. It is a minor surgery for phimosis. The operation takes about 20 to 30 minutes. Generally, hospitalization is not required and the risk of the operation is low. There are many methods of circumcision. The most commonly used method is to circumcise the inner and outer layers of the foreskin at once, followed by circumcision of the inner and outer layers separately.

Preoperative preparation

1. The night before and on the day of surgery, instruct the patient to clean the area. Clean the genitals: Starting from 3 days before surgery, the genitals should be washed with warm water or 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution every day. When washing, the foreskin should be turned over to expose the coronal sulcus and thoroughly remove the smegma. However, it should be noted that the foreskin should be restored in time after washing to avoid penile prepuce incarceration.

2. Patients with concurrent foreskin and glans inflammation need to use medication and local immersion treatment, and surgery can be performed after the inflammation subsides.

3. Eliminate tension: Since the wound will be a little uncomfortable in the first few days after the operation, some people worry that the operation will affect their sexual function. This idea is unnecessary. Generally speaking, circumcision will not affect normal sexual function. On the contrary, if you carry a mental burden, it may cause mental sexual dysfunction.

4. It is best to fast for 4-6 hours before circumcision surgery, otherwise it will cause discomfort.

According to this article's introduction to the preoperative preparation for circumcision, I believe you should all know what the preoperative preparation for circumcision is like. We need to do preoperative preparation before every operation, which helps to increase the success rate of the operation and reduce postoperative complications, so patients should pay attention to it.
