The foreskin is a kind of reproductive tissue unique to men. This tissue has certain functions for the human body. In underage, the foreskin can protect the glans penis and penis. However, as the age increases, the foreskin of men will have some side effects, such as affecting the development of the penis, stimulating the production of smegma, etc. Therefore, circumcision surgery is a solution. Let’s take a look at the introduction of glans protection measures after circumcision surgery.

Measures to protect the glans penis after circumcision:

1. There will be slight pain and bruising at the wound after the operation. You should take painkillers regularly. It will heal in about 7 to 10 days.

2. Regular follow-up visits are required before the wound heals.

3. The wound should be kept clean and dry after surgery, and be careful not to wet the gauze when urinating.

4. Most wound sutures are closed with absorbable sutures, so in most cases, there is no need to remove the sutures; some hospitals require suture removal according to the doctor's instructions.

5. If the penis is erect, 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.

6. If the wound is swollen, painful and bleeding, you can apply cold compress and pressure locally to stop the bleeding; if the bleeding is severe, you should return to the hospital for treatment immediately.

7. Prepare a few extra pairs of underwear for replacement (or buy disposable underwear), because tissue fluid may seep out and dirty the underwear during the recovery period.

8. During the recovery period, it is best to avoid sexual thoughts, otherwise the natural physiological reaction will make you suffer!

9. Patients can resume their sexual life one month after surgery.
