How to deal with festering circumcision wounds?

Phimosis is a very common male disease in men's lives, but many people do not know much about the harm of this disease, which leads to festering of the foreskin wound after circumcision. How to deal with festering of the foreskin wound? What are the specific harms? What should be paid attention to during surgical treatment? The following editor will introduce the precautions that men should pay attention to after circumcision.

Notes on Male Circumcision

Relieve tension

Doctors point out that circumcision will not affect normal sexual function, so patients should feel free to have the surgery and not be nervous. However, if you have a mental burden, it may cause mental dysfunction.

Before wound healing

You should follow the doctor's instructions and return for follow-up examinations on a regular basis. For your health, it is best to abstain from sex for a period of time after the operation.

After surgery

After the anesthetic effect wears off, the wound will feel a little painful and swollen. Usually, the symptoms will subside after three days, and the wound will heal after seven to ten days.

Take rest

Secondly, male patients should pay attention to bed rest. Because if the penis is erect after circumcision, please protect the wound with one hand and pinch the glans with the other hand to allow the penis to retract naturally to avoid the wound from splitting.

Maintain cleanliness and hygiene

The wound area should be kept clean and dry after surgery. Be careful not to wet the gauze when urinating. If the gauze is soaked with urine, remove it first.

The dangers of male foreskin being too long

Inflammation of the penis

There are abundant sebaceous glands in the foreskin, which can secrete a large amount of sebum. When the foreskin is too long or the foreskin is too long, the secretions of the sebaceous glands in the foreskin cannot be discharged, and the sebum and the sediment in the urine are combined into the cheese-like and smelly "smegma". Smegma is suitable for bacterial growth, so it can cause inflammation of the glans penis and foreskin. The bacteria can also cause urinary tract infection through the urethra. Inflammation occurring at the urethral opening can cause the urethral opening to narrow after healing, resulting in difficulty in urination.

Causes various inflammations

The foreskin is too long to harbor dirt and secrete a smelly white secretion called smegma. Smegma can irritate the glans penis for a long time, especially the coronal sulcus, and easily cause balanitis and vulvitis. The bacteria in the foreskin cavity can also cause cystitis, nephrotic nephritis and prostatitis.

Generally, if you take medicine on time after circumcision surgery, the pain will subside within three days, and the wound will generally heal in about ten days. Before the wound heals, you should still follow the doctor's instructions and have regular follow-up visits to avoid accidents.
