Circumcision surgery

Circumcision is a treatment for excessive foreskin. The advantage of circumcision is that it can effectively prevent the formation of smegma and avoid the occurrence of balanitis, which will improve the quality of sexual life. At the same time, circumcision is currently a minimally invasive technology. During the operation, as long as you master the time well and make good preparations and precautions before and after the operation, recovery will be very fast.

Surgery time

It is very important to choose the best time for circumcision. Because excessive foreskin or phimosis will hinder the development of genitals, leading to genital dysplasia and then short genitals, the best time to do circumcision should be when the child is about 8-10 years old.

Spring and autumn are the two most suitable seasons for circumcision. Autumn is known as the best season for circumcision because of its dry weather and low risk of inflammation after surgery.

Preoperative preparation

Preparation 1: Inspection.

Go to a regular hospital's urology department to see if surgery is needed. Generally speaking, surgery is needed for those with phimosis (foreskin cannot be turned up), tight foreskin, recurrent balanitis, or those who have problems with their sexual life. For children, it is better to have surgery when they are around 10 years old.

Preparation 2: Surgical method.

Currently, the most commonly used circumcision is still circumcision, including laser or traditional surgical methods.

Preparation 3: Appointment and testing.

Circumcision surgery in general hospitals needs to be booked 2 to 4 weeks in advance, and should be decided according to your own schedule. Most hospitals require infection screening and blood and urine routine tests before surgery.

Preparation 4: Prepare the skin.

(Nowadays, the hospital will be responsible for skin preparation after you come to the hospital.) Shave the pubic hair on the penis and scrotum and take a shower the day before the operation.

Preparation 5: Psychological preparation.

Circumcision is usually an outpatient surgery with few complications, and the patient can return to work in about a week.

Preparation six: Transportation.

It is best to take a car or taxi and avoid riding a bicycle or driving.

Preparation 7:

After the operation, take medicine on time and return for follow-up to observe the healing of the wound.
