The following is the content about 15 days after the operation that the editor found.

Itching of the wound after circumcision surgery is a normal physiological phenomenon. It is a temporary phenomenon and does not require special treatment. As time goes by, the itching of the wound will gradually disappear. When the wound itches, it is not advisable to scratch it, rub it with clothes, or wash it with hot water, so as not to aggravate the itching sensation or cause the wound to become infected, thereby delaying the healing of the wound. When the wound itches, you can read a book, do some exercise, or do something else to divert your attention.

1. Avoid spicy food

2. Do not do strenuous activities and riding movements (cycling, horse riding), rest more, and have sex less, to reduce the friction between the glans and underwear when walking, and reduce urethral swelling.

3. Drink less water before going to bed and at night. Do not hold urine to prevent erection. If you have an erection, you can get out of bed and move around, urinate, and relieve tension.

4. Follow the doctor's instructions for bathing after surgery, try to avoid collision with the genitals, do not wet the wound dressing, and protect the wound.

5. Do not have sexual intercourse within 1 month after the stitches are removed.

6. Keep the wound gauze dry. If it falls off or gets wet with urine, replace it immediately to prevent infection.

7. Do not wear tight clothes, wear cotton underwear, and do not watch sensual or stimulating TV or read books.

In general, patients who have undergone circumcision surgery should still pay attention to a light diet and avoid spicy food. They can eat some fruits or vegetables that help wound healing, such as bitter melon and tomatoes, which are helpful for reducing internal heat. They should not eat animal viscera because those contain too much cholesterol, which is not conducive to wound healing. Generally, there will be no major problems one month after the operation. So be careful during this period.
