Can I eat garlic after circumcision surgery?

Circumcision is a surgery for male foreskin that is too long. The impact of foreskin on men is relatively large. It is easy to cause bacteria accumulation, which leads to some genital inflammation, and also affects sexual life and ejaculation. Therefore, circumcision is necessary. There are certain taboos after circumcision. So, can you eat garlic after circumcision? Let's introduce it in detail below.

Circumcision is a sterile operation, which is generally not easy to cause infection. There are no special requirements for diet. You can eat garlic, which has antibacterial effects. But be careful not to eat chili peppers or drink alcohol. It is recommended to keep the area dry, wear loose underwear, and hold the penis with your hands when urinating to avoid urine contamination of the incision.

Post-operative precautions:

Keep the perineum clean. Some patients may feel discomfort after surgery, so scratching is prohibited. The perineum should be cleaned after urination and defecation to prevent local contamination.

After surgery, you must avoid friction on the affected area. Activities such as cycling will have a greater impact on postoperative recovery.

Wear loose underwear. Change it in time and keep your genitals and underwear clean.

Be careful not to wet the gauze when urinating. If the gauze is wetted by urine, change the dressing immediately.

Take anti-inflammatory drugs regularly and avoid contact with water during the wound healing period.

Guidance:

Therefore, correct home care is particularly important. The following points are specially reminded to patients:

After the operation, you should rest in bed for 3 to 4 days and avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time. Due to poor local blood circulation, the glans penis will swell into a purple eggplant shape, affecting wound healing.

Wear loose underwear. After the operation, doctors usually put a gauze curtain on the perineum after dressing the wound to reduce the friction of the glans penis.

It is normal for the glans penis to be slightly swollen within 3 to 4 days after surgery. This is a reaction of the body caused by anesthesia and surgery. Note that the swelling is pink at this time.

Do not wet the dressing when urinating. If it has been soaked by urine, it should be replaced as soon as possible. You can prepare 75% alcohol or 1:1000 new germination cotton balls or isotonic saline cotton balls, wipe the urethra after urinating, keep the wound dressing clean, or soak the head of the penis with 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution in warm water every day.

Within 3 to 4 days after the operation, take sedatives such as 2.5 mg of diazepam before going to bed to prevent penis erection, pain or bleeding. Young people should be more careful because the nerve endings of the penis head, which has been covered for a long time, are very sensitive. Once exposed, it is easy to get an erection. Therefore, they should avoid watching pornographic books and watching TV. Lovers should temporarily avoid hugging, kissing, etc. to avoid sexual stimulation.
