What does it feel like to have inflammation after circumcision?

Circumcision is the only treatment for prepuce. If the prepuce is not properly cared for after circumcision, inflammation may occur. If the foreskin of the glans penis becomes inflamed, it will affect the body's recovery. After circumcision, you should be careful not to touch water, eat spicy food, and prohibit sexual intercourse. Many people don't know what inflammation after circumcision looks like. What does inflammation after circumcision look like? Let's take a look.

1. What does circumcision inflammation look like?

If there is an infection, the suture site will be red, swollen, painful, and yellow pus may flow out. If there are no such symptoms, there is no infection. However, you must insist on changing the dressing and disinfecting on time to avoid infection.

2. Circumcision procedure steps

1. Single circumcision of the inner and outer circumcision

(1) Separation of adhesions between the foreskin and glans penis: Check whether there are adhesions between the foreskin and glans penis. If adhesions are present, separate them first.

(2) Pulling and fixing the foreskin: Place the foreskin in a natural position and clamp it with two vascular clamps at the center of the dorsal and ventral sides of the foreskin respectively.

(3) Design the incision and cut the foreskin vertically from the dorsal to the ventral side.

(4) Circumcision.

(5) Suturing the incision: Align the inner and outer layers of the foreskin and suture them together.

2. Ring cutting of inner and outer panels

(1) Draw the outer incision line and make the incision: With the foreskin tension-free, draw the outer incision line parallel to the coronal sulcus at about 0.5 cm distal to the coronal sulcus.

(2) Draw the inner plate incision line and make the incision: Flip the foreskin over the coronal sulcus to expose the coronal sulcus, flatten the inner plate of the foreskin, and draw the inner plate incision line parallel to the coronal sulcus about 0.5 cm proximal to the coronal sulcus.

(3) Resection of the foreskin: Use a sharp knife to cut the skin along the incision lines drawn on the outer and inner plates of the foreskin, and then make a longitudinal incision on the midline of the back of the foreskin to connect the horizontal incisions between the inner and outer plates. Use vascular forceps to lift up the two corners of the skin strip and separate them at the shallow layer of the blood vessels, so that the removed foreskin will gradually fall off.

(4) Suturing the incision: After the wound has completely stopped bleeding, align the edges of the inner and outer plates and perform intermittent sutures using conventional methods.

3. Penile circumcision

(1) Incision line drawing: Push the foreskin upwards to fully expose the glans penis, and use gentian violet to draw a circular excision area at the base of the penis.

(2) Circumcision: A strip of penile skin is removed in a circular pattern along the surgical line.

(3) Suturing the incision: Pull the skin on both sides of the incision and suture it intermittently with fine silk thread.

3. Postoperative Diet

Eat a balanced diet, pay attention to nutritional balance, avoid eating raw, cold, spicy and other irritating foods, and avoid smoking and drinking.
