Why is there urinary incontinence after circumcision surgery?

For most men, circumcision is the most common and necessary surgery. Although it sounds scary, it is actually a minor surgery that can be done in a few minutes. The most important thing is that the patient must pay attention to care after returning home to prevent the glans from getting infected. So the question is, what is the reason why patients cannot urinate completely after circumcision?

Foreskin edema is a disease. It is caused by local circulation disorder of the foreskin, which leads to skin and mucous membrane swelling. It is usually caused by the patient not paying attention to genital hygiene, excessive masturbation, long-term foreskin incarceration, etc. It may also be caused by edema after circumcision surgery.

Acute foreskin edema is an inflammatory lesion of the foreskin that may cause local necrosis if not properly treated.

Causes

1. Infectious factors

The coronal sulcus and foreskin have a history of laser or electrocautery surgery, resulting in postoperative infection; or other reasons lead to bacterial infection of the foreskin and edema.

2. Allergy factors

This includes mosquito bites, applying medication or using contraceptives, etc.

3. Physical factors

These include sexual abrasions, long-term foreskin inversion and incarceration, excessive washing, and violent trauma.

4. Others

This includes edema caused by chronic balanoposthitis and edema of unknown cause after unclean sexual behavior.

Clinical manifestations

The foreskin swells up like a swimming ring around the coronal sulcus, or wraps around the glans penis and swells up like a hemisphere. In severe cases, the surface is translucent. Some patients also have ulcers and erosions of the coronal sulcus, and exudate yellow purulent secretions.
