How to change the dressing after circumcision surgery

After surgical treatment, the phimosis needs to be bandaged and cared for for a period of time before the male reproductive organs can grow and develop completely. Of course, the wound needs to be changed during this period. Therefore, the process of changing the dressing is very important. Whether the patient changes the dressing by himself or the nurse changes the dressing, the whole process of bandaging and changing the dressing must be mastered in detail.

Generally, on the 13th day after circumcision surgery, patients can consider changing their own dressings. First, use disinfectant iodine to treat it. The oil gauze inside does not need to be forcibly untied. After using disinfectant iodine, clean it with potassium permanganate solution, and then use sterile gauze to tie it. It must be noted that this process requires careful care. In addition, the dressing should be changed in a sterile environment to prevent infection at the wound site. The whole process is not very complicated. As long as the patient knows more about the whole process and treats it carefully, it will not cause any problems. Of course, if you know the whole process in detail, there will be no unexpected situation.

After a circumcision operation, men generally need to change the dressing every three days, and they also need to pay attention to the way of changing the dressing. It is best to rest for one to two days after the operation. During these one to two days, you need to rest in bed as much as possible and reduce walking to avoid postoperative bleeding. In addition, after the operation, do not touch pornographic magazines, online pictures and videos, because touching these things will cause penis erection, which can easily cause postoperative bleeding. Finally, the diet should be light, and some spicy and irritating foods should not be eaten, so as to ensure the timely recovery of the male genital area. Of course, during the whole process of recovery, the underwear should be kept clean and dry, and should be worn looser.

In fact, the so-called dressing change is disinfection and infection prevention. After using disinfectant iodine, it is wrapped with sterile gauze, and the whole process is completed. It is very simple and does not require any medicine. If the patient wants to apply the medicine by himself, he can apply the medicine by himself after understanding the common problems. If men are worried that their methods are wrong, they should ask their doctors for more information to ensure that their methods are appropriate.
