What should I pay attention to when doing circumcision surgery for boys?

Things to note about circumcision surgery for boys. Nowadays, the technology in this area is very advanced, so there is no danger. This is an outpatient surgery. Generally, if there are no symptoms of inflammation after observation, you can be discharged from the hospital. You must be calm. Before that, you must pay attention to the cleanliness of the foreskin and go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination. If the foreskin is too long and affects your life, you must choose to remove it. You can rest for a few days after the operation and then you can live a normal life. Be careful not to get the gauze wet.

1. Choosing the best time for circumcision is very important. Because excessive foreskin or phimosis will hinder the development of genitals, leading to genital dysplasia and then causing short genitals, the best time to do circumcision should be when the child is about 8-10 years old.

2. Spring and autumn are the two most suitable seasons for circumcision. Autumn is known as the best season for circumcision because of its dry weather and low risk of inflammation after surgery.

Preoperative preparation:

Preparation 1: Inspection.

Go to a regular hospital's urology department to see if surgery is needed. Generally speaking, surgery is needed for those with phimosis (foreskin cannot be turned up), tight foreskin, recurrent balanitis, or those who have difficulty in having sex. For children, it is better to have surgery when they are around 10 years old.

Preparation 2: Surgical method.

Currently, the most commonly used circumcision is still circumcision, including laser or traditional surgical methods.

Preparation 3: Appointment and testing.

Circumcision surgery in general hospitals needs to be booked 2 to 4 weeks in advance, and should be decided according to your own schedule. Most hospitals require infection screening and blood and urine routine tests before surgery.

Preparation 4: Prepare the skin.

(Nowadays, the hospital will be responsible for skin preparation after you come to the hospital.) Shave the pubic hair on the penis and scrotum and take a shower the day before the operation.

Preparation 5: Psychological preparation.

Circumcision is usually an outpatient surgery with few complications and the patient can return to normal life in about a week.

Preparation six: Transportation.

It is best to take a car or taxi and avoid riding a bicycle or driving.

Preparation 7:

After the operation, take medicine on time and return for follow-up to observe the healing of the wound.

I hope the above can provide a reference for everyone. I hope parents can have a correct understanding of foreskin and circumcision surgery. This is a minor operation, and you can be discharged from the hospital and go home to recuperate after that. The gauze should be removed according to the doctor's advice after a few days of rest. If there is no redness or swelling afterwards, you don't need to go to the hospital. Take medicine on time after the operation. Doctors will generally prescribe some medicine to prevent inflammation.
