Is it painful to have surgery for phimosis?

We all know that the health of the reproductive system has a great relationship with our quality of life, among which married life becomes very important. However, some men are born with problems with foreskin, which sometimes even seriously affects their lives. Therefore, surgery is the best solution. Next, we will introduce to you in detail the issue of whether the surgery for foreskin is painful.

Edema after circumcision is a common symptom. Mild edema of the glans penis within 3 to 4 days after surgery is normal, but there are individual differences. The reason for edema is that after circumcision, the blood circulation in the frenulum of the foreskin is relatively abundant. After the operation, the blood vessels and lymphatic vessels in the skin are cut off, and a new return path is established, resulting in poor return, which takes some time. Therefore, the local edema after the operation can generally recover in 2-3 weeks, and some can last for more than 3 months, but there is no need to panic. After the new circulation is formed, the swelling will naturally subside.

At the same time, avoid eating spicy food. Do not drink alcohol. Do not have sex for one month. Sleeping at night can be done in a supine or side-lying position to avoid compressing the genitals. If you have an erection at night, you can get up to urinate and walk around. If the edema persists for a long time, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up examination to prevent secondary infection. The edema can also be effectively relieved through treatment.

Care methods:

1. Before the surgical wound heals, you should return for regular follow-up examinations; the wound should be kept clean and dry after the operation, and be careful not to wet the gauze when urinating.

2. Wear loose underwear to reduce friction on the glans penis.

3. It is normal for the glans penis to be slightly edematous within 3 to 4 days after the operation. This is a reaction of the body caused by anesthesia and surgery. Note that the swelling is pink at this time.

4. After the operation, sexual stimulation and sexual fantasies should be avoided as much as possible to prevent penile erection. Of course, the doctor will prescribe some drugs to prevent erection for the patient, but if sexual stimulation cannot be controlled, it is still possible that the wound will rupture due to erection and delay wound healing.

The above content is an introduction to whether the surgery for phimosis is painful. As long as it is a surgery, there will be certain risks. Circumcision surgery requires incision. Generally speaking, anesthesia is required for surgery. You will not feel pain during this process, but you will still feel some pain during the later recovery period. Everyone should be aware of this.
