Urinating after circumcision

Many patients feel very uncomfortable every time they urinate after undergoing circumcision surgery. In fact, they should relax their mentality at this time, not be too nervous, and let nature take its course. This way, they will not feel so painful when defecating. Even if their wounds are gradually recovering, they should not sit for a long time, as this will cause blood circulation problems and cause some penile swelling.

1. You should rest in bed for 3-4 days after the operation and avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time. Some young people are too embarrassed to ask for leave after the operation and still insist on working. Due to poor local blood circulation, the glans penis swells into a purple eggplant shape, affecting the healing of the wound.

2. Wear loose underwear. After the operation, the doctor will usually place a gauze curtain on the perineum after bandaging the wound to reduce the friction of the glans penis.

3. It is normal for the glans penis to be slightly edematous within 3 to 4 days after the operation. This is a reaction of the body caused by anesthesia and surgery. Note that the swelling is pink at this time.

4. Do not wet the dressing during urination. If it is soaked by urine, it should be replaced as soon as possible. You can prepare 75% alcohol or 1:1000 new chelate cotton balls or isotonic saline cotton balls, wipe the area around the urethra after urination, keep the wound dressing clean, or soak the head of the penis in 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution in warm water every day.

5. Take sedatives such as diazepam 2.5 mg before going to bed within 3 to 4 days after the operation to prevent penile erection, pain or bleeding. Young people should be more careful because the nerve endings of the penis head, which has been covered for a long time, are very sensitive. Once exposed, it is easy to get an erection. Therefore, they should avoid watching pornographic books and watching TV. Lovers should temporarily avoid hugging, kissing, etc. to avoid sexual stimulation.

6. Go to the hospital on time to change the dressing and remove the skin sutures as required by the doctor. The surgical scar will gradually absorb and become smaller.

Suggestions:

● Check regularly to detect and treat relapses early.

● Take good care after the operation and avoid unclean sexual intercourse to prevent infection.

● Eat a light diet, eat more fruits, vegetables and light food, and take enough rest.

● Pay attention to health care at each critical period

Circumcision is a minor surgical procedure, usually performed in a small operating room in a hospital outpatient department. After the procedure, the patient can go home without hospitalization. Many men already know the dangers of phimosis or prepuce, and are ready to go to the hospital for circumcision. However, due to lack of knowledge about the procedure and the rumors spread by others, they have various concerns, such as whether the procedure is painful, whether it will affect the erectile function of the penis, whether it will affect sexual life, etc., and are unable to make up their minds. In fact, these concerns are unnecessary.
