Do you know the side effects of circumcision?

For men, being good in bed is a matter of pride. However, many people find that they have the problem of foreskin being too long. Although it seems that it does not affect the foreskin, it actually has many health risks. Therefore, many people choose to undergo circumcision. However, there are also some sequelae of circumcision. Let's talk about these sequelae today.

Phimosis refers to a condition where the foreskin opening is too small, so that the foreskin cannot be turned up to reveal the glans penis; prepuce is too long refers to a condition where the foreskin covers the entire glans penis, but the foreskin opening is not small and can be turned up to reveal the glans penis. Prepuce is often physiological in infants and young children, and it is only when the glans penis is still not visible after puberty that it is called phimosis or prepuce is too long.

In addition to penis size, phimosis is also a major problem for men.

As the name suggests, phimosis is the condition in which the skin on the penis likes to cover the glans penis.

In childhood, everyone is phimotic, with the glans completely covered by the foreskin. During puberty, when the penis is erect, the foreskin is pulled down to reveal the glans.

For half of men, the phimosis will disappear automatically around the age of 18, so it is not a problem as long as their development is good. However, for most men, their glans is still covered after they reach adulthood.

If phimosis is not treated in time, the glans penis will be tightly locked by the foreskin for a long time, causing poor penile development after puberty and affecting sexual life.

Circumcision is a minor operation and basically does not require any special preparation before the operation. You can just wear a pair of loose pants to go to the hospital.

Circumcision sequelae

1. Bleeding

It is usually caused by incomplete hemostasis during surgery or loose ligature. The most common bleeding sites are the superficial dorsal vein of the penis and the frenulum of the prepuce. Bleeding from the superficial dorsal vein of the penis is prone to hematoma, and bleeding from the frenulum of the prepuce often results in blood flowing out of the wound, and may also form hematoma under the skin. If this symptom occurs, you should seek medical attention immediately.

2. Infection

Failure to effectively control inflammation of the foreskin and glans penis before surgery, mistaken circumcision for those with incarcerated foreskin, lack of attention to aseptic operation or rough surgical operation, and urine contamination of the wound after surgery can all lead to wound infection. After infection occurs, some sutures should be removed to allow drainage, bed rest, and antibacterial drugs should be used.

3. Improper circumcision

If the foreskin is removed too much, it will affect the erection of the penis after the operation. In severe cases, skin grafting can be performed to correct it. If the foreskin is removed too little, the foreskin will still cover the glans penis after the operation. If the foreskin is turned upward without any difficulty, it can be turned over and cleaned frequently. If it is still not turned over satisfactorily or the infection still occurs repeatedly, circumcision can be performed again.

4. Edema of the frenulum

Too much skin is left at the frenulum, the bandage is too tight, standing or walking for too long on the day after the operation, etc. If edema of the frenulum occurs, the bandage should be loosened, the glans penis should be moved to the side of the abdomen, and supported with a "T" belt. Antibacterial drugs should be used to prevent infection, and physical therapy should be performed.

The above is the introduction to the sequelae of circumcision. You may feel a little scared after hearing this, but in fact, as long as we choose a regular hospital to do circumcision, these problems can be avoided. Many people choose to go to some small clinics because they are embarrassed and do not lose face. Although it is cheap and will not lose face, these places are often the areas where sequelae of circumcision occur frequently.
