​Pay attention after circumcision surgery

The development of medical technology has enabled many diseases to be treated. Nowadays, male genital foreskin can be cut off through circumcision. However, no surgery is omnipotent. No matter how advanced the technology is, anyone who has undergone surgery will need some time to recover. In addition, there are some precautions during this recovery period. Similarly, men also have precautions after circumcision surgery, which are introduced below:

(1) After the operation, the wound will swell and bleed due to the erection of the penis. If the bleeding is minor, it can be stopped by applying cold compresses locally. If the bleeding is severe, you should return to the hospital for treatment immediately.

(2) Do not wet the dressing when urinating. If it is soaked with urine, it should be replaced as soon as possible. You can prepare alcohol or 1:1000 gentamicin cotton balls or isosmotic saline cotton balls. After urinating, wipe the area around the urethra to keep the wound dressing clean.

(3) Wear loose underwear. After surgery, doctors will usually place a gauze curtain over the perineum after bandaging the wound to reduce friction on the glans penis.

(4) It is normal for the glans penis to be slightly edematous within 3 to 15 days after surgery. This is a reaction of the body caused by anesthesia and surgery. Note that the swelling is pink at this time.

(5) Take sedatives before going to bed within 3 to 4 days after the operation to prevent the penis from erecting and causing 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 reading pornographic books and watching TV. Lovers should temporarily avoid hugging, kissing, etc. to avoid sexual stimulation.

Therefore, men who have just completed circumcision surgery should not be relaxed and ignore the post-operative "care", otherwise the problems caused in the later stage will cause greater harm to men. Of course, the precautions mentioned above may not be comprehensive. If, after the circumcision surgery, the male reproductive organs have the situation not introduced above, please consult a doctor in time.
