What should you pay attention to before circumcision?

I believe many friends are still relatively unfamiliar with circumcision. Circumcision is a surgery used to remove the foreskin of the penis. Circumcision is actually a very small surgery, but we cannot take it lightly. We still need to be very careful before doing circumcision. Below we will introduce to you some things we should pay attention to before circumcision.

Circumcision refers to the removal of excess foreskin on the penis to expose the glans penis. It is an effective treatment for phimosis, prepuce hyperplasia and its complications. It is a minor surgery for phimosis. The operation takes about 20 to 30 minutes. Generally, hospitalization is not required and the risk of the operation is relatively low. There are many methods of circumcision. The most commonly used method is the method of circumcision of the inner and outer plates at once, followed by the method of circumcision of the inner and outer plates separately. It is an open surgery. The purpose of the surgery is to completely expose the glans penis through surgery, so that there will be no infection caused by leaving dead corners.

1. The night before and on the day of surgery, instruct the patient to clean the area. Clean the genitals: Starting from 3 days before surgery, the genitals should be washed with warm water or 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution every day. When washing, the foreskin should be turned over to expose the coronal sulcus and thoroughly remove the smegma. However, it should be noted that the foreskin should be restored in time after washing to avoid penile prepuce incarceration.

2. Patients with concurrent foreskin and glans inflammation need to use medication and local immersion treatment, and surgery can be performed after the inflammation subsides.

3. Eliminate tension: Since the wound will be a little uncomfortable in the first few days after the operation, some people worry that the operation will affect their sexual function. This idea is unnecessary. Generally speaking, circumcision will not affect normal sexual function. On the contrary, if you carry a mental burden, it may cause mental sexual dysfunction.

4. It is best to fast for 4-6 hours before circumcision surgery, otherwise it will cause discomfort.
