What are the precautions for circumcision and dressing change?

Foreskin can endanger men's physical health. It is more likely to breed bacteria and cause local inflammation. Today's medical technology is becoming more and more advanced. Circumcision is not a major operation, but various precautions are required in the later dressing changes. Let's take a look at the precautions for circumcision and dressing changes.

Precautions after circumcision 1: You should rest in bed for 3-4 days after circumcision and avoid standing or sitting for a long time. Some young people are embarrassed to take leave after surgery and still insist on working. Due to poor local blood circulation, the glans penis will swell directly, affecting the healing of the wound.

Precautions after circumcision surgery 2: Wear loose underwear. Generally, after the operation, the doctor will place a gauze curtain on the perineum after bandaging the wound, in order to reduce the friction of the glans penis.

Note 3 after circumcision: Mild edema of the glans penis within 3 to 4 days after circumcision is normal. This is a body reaction caused by anesthesia and surgery. Note that the swelling is pink at this time.

Precautions after circumcision surgery 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 urethra after urination, keep the wound dressing clean, or soak the head of the penis with 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution in warm water every day.

Note 5 after circumcision surgery: Take sedatives such as diazepam 2.5 mg before going to bed within 3 to 4 days after surgery to prevent penile erection, causing pain or bleeding.

Precautions after circumcision surgery 6: Keep a stable mood within one week after the operation, refrain from having sex for 30 days, and try to avoid erection to prevent the incision from splitting, bleeding and infection.

The above are the precautions for circumcision dressing changes. Postoperative treatment is very important. The hot summer is the main season for infection symptoms. In order to avoid bacterial growth and infection, it is recommended that you handle it properly in the summer, maintain a good mood, change underwear and clothes frequently, and pay attention to your hygiene habits.
