Does circumcision hurt?

Circumcision is a relatively minor surgery, but it will also make the patient feel pain, so many patients will choose to take anesthesia, and it will take a long time to care after the surgery. If the foreskin is not circumcised, it is likely to harbor dirt and filth, which will have a certain impact on the patient's health and may also cause sexually transmitted diseases. So will it hurt after circumcision?

Circumcision, also known as circumcision surgery, involves the use of anesthesia, usually local anesthesia. If a younger child can be given general anesthesia, there will be no feeling. Local anesthesia will have a certain feeling, but there will be no pain. It may be a little painful on the day of circumcision, but the pain is not particularly severe. You can take some common painkillers orally to relieve the pain, such as ibuprofen. The pain after circumcision is tolerable and generally does not require special treatment. If the pain of the foreskin is very severe, stronger painkillers can be used, such as chlorpromazine. Also, after the circumcision surgery, the local area must be kept clean and dry to prevent urine from soaking the wound.

After circumcision surgery, there is usually some local pain. There are two types of pain:

1. Pain from the incision. This type of pain from the incision is usually mild and generally does not require oral painkillers. However, during sleep at night, the penis may be awakened from sleep due to erection. After waking up, the erection will be relieved and the pain will be relieved after the penis becomes soft. Usually, this erection and pain will last 2-3 times at night and generally does not require medication.

2. After circumcision, the glans penis is exposed, and the friction between the glans penis and the underwear when walking causes slight local pain and discomfort. In this case, you need to persist for a period of time, and the pain will gradually improve after the glans penis gradually adapts to the friction with the underwear.
