What should you pay attention to after circumcision surgery?

Many people don’t know what to pay attention to after circumcision surgery, and some people don’t care, which will lead to continued deterioration or inflammation, making the condition worse, and thus taking more time to treat. So after the surgery, you should consult your doctor about what you can and cannot do and what you should pay attention to. So what should you pay attention to after circumcision surgery?

1. You should rest in bed for 3-4 days after the operation and avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time. Some young people are too embarrassed to ask for leave after the operation and still insist on working. Due to poor local blood circulation, the glans penis will swell into a purple eggplant shape, affecting the healing of the wound.

2. Wear loose underwear. After the operation, the doctor will usually place a gauze curtain on the perineum after dressing the wound to reduce the friction of the glans penis.

3. It is normal for the glans penis to be slightly swollen 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. 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 germination cotton balls or isotonic saline cotton balls, wipe the area around the urethra after urinating, keep the wound dressing clean, or soak the head of the penis in 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution in warm water every day.

5. Take sedatives such as diazepam 2.5 mg before going to bed within 3 to 4 days after the operation to prevent penile erection, pain or bleeding. Young people should be more careful because the nerve endings of the penis head, which has been covered for a long time, are very sensitive. Once exposed, it is easy to get an erection. Therefore, they should avoid watching pornographic books and watching TV. Lovers should temporarily avoid hugging, kissing, etc. to avoid sexual stimulation.

6. Go to the hospital on time to change the dressing and remove the skin sutures as required by the doctor. The surgical scar will gradually absorb and become smaller.

After the circumcision operation, you should pay attention to your diet and avoid eating irritating foods, such as hot peppers, garlic, etc. You should eat lighter foods and take a rest. Don't walk for a long time. Pay attention to your hygiene and disinfect yourself according to the medicine prescribed by the doctor. Don't be afraid of trouble. If you feel unwell, you should go to the hospital in time.
