Precautions for circumcision of frenulum

The frenulum is located below the glans penis. It is easy to tear during sexual intercourse, causing bleeding or inflammation of the wound. The sensitivity of the frenulum can cause the man to become overly excited during sexual intercourse and lead to premature ejaculation. Therefore, circumcision of the frenulum is a common surgery. Let’s take a look at the precautions of this surgery.

treatment

For minor frenulum tears, first use mercurochrome for local disinfection, then apply vaseline gauze to the wound, and wrap it with gauze bandages, changing it every other day. For severe injuries, immediate local hemostasis and surgical sutures should be performed. Change the dressing every other day, and remove the stitches after 7 days. In order to prevent wound infection, anti-inflammatory treatment should be carried out during this period, using 800,000 units of penicillin and 0.5 grams of streptomycin, mixed and injected intramuscularly. If you are allergic to the drug, you can take 0.2 grams of norfloxacin orally 4 times a day. Use hemostatic drugs at the same time, such as hemostatic or ancillary blood. In order to prevent penile erection from affecting wound healing, you can take 2 mg of hexenol orally once a night to reduce sexual impulse.

Notes

1. Do not engage in strenuous activities or heavy physical labor in the short term after the operation, avoid drinking irritating foods, and stop riding a bicycle.

2. After the operation, you should rest in the outpatient clinic for half an hour and leave the hospital after the doctor checks that there are no special circumstances.

3. Try to avoid stimulating factors that induce penile erection within half a month to prevent bleeding or discomfort from the wound.

4. If there is a little bleeding or mild edema at the wound after the operation, it is a normal phenomenon and please do not worry about it. If there is any obvious abnormality, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment immediately.

5. Be careful not to wet the bandage when urinating to avoid wound infection.

6. Sexual intercourse should be prohibited within one month after the stitches are removed.

Postoperative care

1. Use antibiotics to prevent and treat infection.

2. Keep the dressing clean and replace it promptly if it is contaminated by urine.

3. Remove the wound sutures about one week after the operation

Surgery requires cutting on your skin, so wound treatment is particularly important. It is recommended that patients eat a light diet and pay attention to changes in the wound to prevent infection. They should not engage in strenuous exercise or resume a new life before recovery, otherwise the wound may rupture and become infected.
