How long does it take to turn the glans out and fix it?

The main purpose of turning the glans penis out is to treat the condition of foreskin being too long. Excessive foreskin will cause dirt accumulation in the glans penis, increase the possibility of bacterial infection, and thus cause balanitis. Therefore, after the foreskin is turned out, it usually takes 3 months to take shape. It is best to choose to have a circumcision at around 15 years old to remove the excess foreskin. It is also necessary to pay attention to the hygiene of the glans penis to reduce the symptoms of balanitis.

It takes more than three months to shape the glans. Even if many men turn the glans inside out, it still cannot be shaped. If the patient has foreskin that is too long or phimosis, he needs to go to the urology department of a second-class or third-class hospital for a face-to-face examination in time, and let the doctor observe whether there is foreskin that is too long or phimosis. If the patient has phimosis, it cannot be treated by shaping, and circumcision is required.

What is the best age for circumcision surgery in children?

The best age for pediatric circumcision surgery should be 1-2 years after puberty, for example, after the age of 12. Of course, this also depends on whether the child can cooperate and the development of the penis. If the child cannot cooperate or the penis is not well developed, the time will be pushed back.

Because before puberty, children are basically circumcised, so don't tell your child about circumcision. Generally speaking, as long as it does not affect the child's urination, you can wait, there is no need to rush to do circumcision. On the one hand, because children are too young to cooperate, they need general anesthesia, and it is not worth doing this operation.

In addition, the penis of a child before puberty has not yet developed. It is difficult to grasp the exact shape of the foreskin during surgery. As the penis develops after surgery, it is difficult to predict the future shape of the foreskin.

What should we pay attention to during circumcision surgery in children?

After circumcision surgery, you should take anti-inflammatory drugs as prescribed by your doctor. The wound should be kept clean and dry after surgery. Be careful not to wet the gauze when urinating. After circumcision surgery, the wound will have slight pain and swelling. Analgesics should be taken regularly, and it will heal in about 7 to 10 days.

Parents should pay attention to whether there is bleeding at the wound after circumcision surgery. If the wound is swollen, painful and bleeding, local cold compress and pressure can be used to stop the bleeding; if the bleeding is severe, the child should be returned to the hospital for treatment immediately.

In phimosis surgery, short-term absorbable synthetic sutures are usually used instead of disassembly sutures. The wound is sutured with absorbable sutures and there is no need to remove the sutures. Regular follow-up visits should be made until the wound heals.

Penile edema is a normal phenomenon after penile edema surgery. You should let your child wear loose clothes and pants to avoid rubbing the penis. If the penis is erect, please protect the wound with one hand and pinch the glans with one hand to let the penis sink naturally to prevent the wound from cracking. Change underwear frequently to avoid infection.
