Why does the glans penis turn black after circumcision?

The impact of excessive foreskin on men's daily life is very large, and it is necessary to actively undergo surgical treatment. Circumcision is already a minor operation in modern times, but it is best to choose a formal and professional large hospital for circumcision. This not only guarantees the technology, but also reduces the complications after the operation. Some men have a phenomenon of blackening of the glans after circumcision. What is going on?

Why does the glans penis turn black after circumcision?

If it is just this area that turns black, it is usually due to congestion or blood scab, which will gradually improve. If the entire glans penis and the entire circumference turn black, it indicates blood circulation disorders and excessive pressure, and the bandage needs to be loosened appropriately.

How much does circumcision cost?

The cost of circumcision surgery depends on the hospital's qualifications, treatment methods, and doctors. Different circumcision surgery methods will also have different prices. Generally speaking, the cost of circumcision surgery mainly consists of two parts: preoperative examination fee and circumcision surgery fee.

1. Inspection Fees

The cost of a foreskin examination is generally around a few dozen yuan. It mainly checks the condition of the male foreskin and formulates the best treatment plan based on these data to ensure the safety of the operation.

2. Surgery costs

At present, the cost of regular hospitals generally ranges from a few hundred to a thousand yuan. The cost of surgery generally includes: disposable consumables, labor costs, and equipment wear and tear during the operation.

Why do we need circumcision?

Phimosis itself does not cause serious harm, but it can cause many other symptoms, mainly the following.

1. Foreskin and glans inflammation

The foreskin is too long and not cleaned well. In addition, the foreskin is too long, causing urine to often accumulate in the foreskin sac, irritating the foreskin and glans penis, causing them to produce secretions and epidermis to fall off, forming excessive smegma.

On the one hand, smegma can stimulate local foreskin and mucosa to cause inflammation. On the other hand, the warm and humid environment formed by the desquamated epithelium, glandular secretions and smegma can easily cause inflammation once bacteria enter.

2. Phimosis

If the foreskin is too long and the foreskin opening is narrow, the foreskin will be incarcerated if it is pulled over the glans penis and fails to return to its original position in time.

3. Increased risk of urinary tract infection

Infection at the glans penis can travel up the urinary tract and cause urinary tract infection. Patients with prepuce redundancy are more than 20 times more likely to suffer from urinary tract infection than normal people.

4. Increased risk of sexually transmitted diseases

The folds between the foreskin and the glans penis formed by excessive foreskin provide a good living environment for pathogens. This is a place where all pathogens are easily hidden. The pathogens of sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis and gonorrhea can grow under the foreskin and wait for an opportunity to enter the body and cause disease.
