The incision is a little itchy after circumcision

Modern men are more concerned about their health, so if they encounter some substantial problems, they will choose to go to the hospital for treatment. The most common male problem is phimosis, which can cause impotence and premature ejaculation, thus causing a series of health problems, so surgical treatment is required. However, some patients report that their incisions are a little itchy after circumcision surgery. What's going on? It is normal to feel itchy after surgery, indicating that the wound is slowly recovering, so don't worry too much.

Edema after circumcision surgery

1. After undergoing circumcision surgery, the patient is in the recovery period. If you want the edema in the affected area to completely disappear, it still depends on the individual's physical condition. Some patients usually have better physical fitness, so the wound will heal faster, but people with poor physical resistance will heal more slowly.

2. Generally speaking, edema will completely disappear within one month after circumcision, but in a few patients, edema will persist for a long time. It is recommended that patients do not rub their genitals after surgery to avoid penis erection, which is not conducive to healing.

Pay attention to these three points when caring for circumcision surgery

1. Within one month after the operation, you must avoid sexual stimulation and erection to prevent the incision from splitting, bleeding and infection. If you have an erection, you should take a deep breath and come to the hospital for a follow-up if necessary.

2. Try not to get the dressing wet after surgery. If it gets wet accidentally during urination, change it as soon as possible. Wear loose underwear to reduce friction.

3. You should rest in bed for 3-4 days after circumcision surgery. Avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time. You can take certain sedative measures under the guidance of a doctor to prevent penile erection. Young people should pay special attention. It is normal to have slight edema in these three to four days, but if the edema is too severe, you should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.

4. After circumcision, you need to wear tight underwear for at least 10 days, and then change to loose underwear in time when the wound is completely healed. Young people in adolescence and after adolescence should also resume a certain amount of physical exercise, so that the penis can have a chance to accept friction and adapt to the new environment as soon as possible. In addition, adult men should resume sexual life as soon as possible to avoid inducing prostatitis.

After the circumcision surgery, the patient should take care of himself, follow the doctor's instructions, change the dressing frequently, and pay special attention when going to the toilet to keep the affected area dry as much as possible. The patient should also eat a healthy and light diet.
