How long does edema last after circumcision?

Circumcision is a common type of penile foreskin plastic surgery. It has many advantages, such as preventing glans inflammation and premature ejaculation during sexual life. It is also very effective in preventing cross infection. Some edema will occur right after circumcision, which is quite common. At this time, you should use drugs under the guidance of a doctor to prevent infection. Let us learn more about this aspect.

How long does edema last after circumcision?

In view of the current situation, since the circumcision was done not long ago, my suggestion is to pay attention to protecting the wound, keep it clean and dry, and strengthen the dressing changes to avoid infection. Try to avoid erection during this period, because it is not conducive to the recovery of the wound, and avoid sexual intercourse within two months. It is normal if there is edema of the foreskin after the operation. Some people take one or two months to go away.

Postoperative effects

Many people worry that the quality of sex life will be affected after surgery, but a large number of clinical studies have confirmed that the main sensory nerve fibers are distributed under the glans penis, which are far more than those on the foreskin. Therefore, partial circumcision does not reduce sexual sensitivity. On the contrary, the frenulum of the glans penis exposed after circumcision not only does not affect the sensitivity of sexual life, but also reduces the chronic stimulation of smegma, which is beneficial to improve the sensitivity of sexual life, thereby obtaining greater sexual pleasure.

Surgical procedures

Step 1. Pull your pants down to your knees and lie on the operating table.

Step 2. Start preparing the skin, shave off almost all the pubic hair, and then disinfect the surrounding skin and scrotum.

Step 3. Cover the body with a piece of cloth with a hole in it so that the genitals can be exposed through the hole for surgery.

Step 4. Give the first shot of anesthetic to the base of the penis, and then give two shots to the corpus cavernosum.

Step 5. Choose a glans cap according to the size of the glans to cover it to prevent the laser from damaging it.

Step 6. Cover the scrotum with a special cover to prevent damage to the testicles.

Step 7. The operation officially begins. The foreskin is turned up and scanned with a laser. The foreskin is burned by the high temperature and splits, and the room is filled with a burning smell. The foreskin is then cut off. Note that it is not completely cut off, but about 0.3-0.5 cm is left.

Step 8. Sew using seven-day thread.

Step 9. Bandage, and it's over. The whole operation takes less than 30 minutes. There is only a little bleeding. The patient feels no pain, but says that he feels a little when the foreskin splits.

Step 10. Change the dressing every day for three days after the operation. After seven days, the stitches will fall off on their own. If you find that they have not completely fallen off, you can go to the hospital for treatment.

Step 11. Generally, all discomfort will completely disappear in about 30 days! It will not affect your work or study after the operation.
