Do I need to be hospitalized for circumcision?

Surgical treatment of circumcision does not require hospitalization. Circumcision can be performed directly in the outpatient clinic of the urology department of a local regular hospital. You can leave directly after the operation. The whole operation takes half an hour. Nerve block anesthesia will be injected at the root of the penis. During the whole operation, the patient will not feel any pain. After the operation is successful, pay attention to personal hygiene and prevent infection. The local area can be disinfected with iodine tincture, and oral antibiotics such as cefaclor capsules or levofloxacin tablets can be taken.

Circumcision is widely used in clinical practice, mainly for patients with excessive foreskin, recurrent balanoposthitis or phimosis. Circumcision is simple to operate and is widely performed in medical institutions at all levels. Excessive foreskin can be removed for treatment and balanoposthitis can be prevented. Circumcision usually does not require hospitalization and can be performed in an outpatient clinic. Local anesthesia should be performed on the penile nerve before circumcision. The operation can be completed in about 20 minutes. After the operation, attention should be paid to regular incision disinfection. Pressure bandage on the incision can prevent edema of the foreskin and incision rupture.

Precautions after circumcision surgery

1. Patients with prepuce that is too long must rest for 1-2 days after circumcision. They can lie in bed to rest, read a book or surf the Internet. Try to walk less after the operation, mainly to prevent bleeding during postoperative activities.

2. After the operation, try to avoid contact with pornographic books, videos, and pictures as much as possible, because contact with these things will cause your penis to become erect, and the wound will not heal completely and will easily bleed, which is not conducive to wound healing.

3. In terms of diet, you must pay attention to eating more light foods. Spicy and irritating foods must not be eaten. I hope everyone can pay attention to this.

4. Generally, patients with prepuce that is too long need to change the dressing once every 3 days after the circumcision operation. After 3 days, they can resume normal activities and there is generally no impact.

5. In addition to using antibiotics after the operation, you also have to take drugs to prevent erection and relieve pain.

6. After a circumcision operation, you may experience some discomfort in the penis area. This is a normal phenomenon and generally the discomfort will disappear after one week.

7. After the operation, the underwear worn by men should be loose and breathable, and the head of the penis should be kept upward to reduce edema. Regular follow-up is also required.
