Symptoms of circumcision infection

It is common for men to have foreskin that is too long. There is only one treatment method for men with foreskin that is circumcision. Circumcision also has certain risks. Try to go to a large tertiary public hospital for circumcision. Many people may get infected after circumcision. What are the symptoms of infection after circumcision? Let's take a look.

1. What are the symptoms of infection after circumcision?

The symptoms of circumcision infection begin with local redness, swelling, pain, and even bleeding. If the infection is severe, there will be purulent substances. It is recommended that you disinfect the incision with an iodine cotton swab twice a day, clean the urethra in time after urination, and keep the area clean. It is best to go to the hospital and ask a doctor to check it out.

2. Introduction to Circumcision Surgery

Circumcision is to remove the excessive foreskin, that is, to make a straight cut on the back of the penis, and then cut a circle of excess foreskin horizontally. Excessive foreskin can cause premature ejaculation. If the foreskin is not treated in time, it will often affect the sexual life of the couple, because the excessive foreskin covers the male glans, the most sensitive part of the male, so that it cannot get strong stimulation during sexual intercourse, thus causing sexual disharmony. After circumcision, good care methods can avoid postoperative infection and help the wound recover faster.

3. 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 difficulty in having sex. For children, it is better to have surgery when they are around 10 years old.

Preparation 2: Surgical method

The most common circumcision procedure is still circumcision, which can be done with laser or traditional 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: Skin preparation

(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 6: Transportation

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

Preparation 7: Follow-up visit

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