"Prolonged foreskin is a common phenomenon in men. After such a phenomenon occurs, it is necessary for patients to actively and correctly treat it, as it can also be very harmful. Timely surgical treatment can effectively reduce some unnecessary troubles.". Let's take a look at the nursing issues for patients with redundant foreskin after surgery?
How to carry out dietary care for excessive foreskin
1. Eat more fruits and vegetables: After the foreskin surgery, the diet should be mainly light. Drink more water, and pay attention to the method of drinking water. Drink more water during the day, and drink less water at night. Otherwise, it can be very painful to get up and urinate at night. You can also drink some cool and fire reducing herbal tea, which can inhibit sexual impulses, reduce desire, and facilitate wound healing.
2. Spicy food: After performing surgery, it is best not to eat spicy food, nor can you eat more fishy things such as beef, lamb, and seafood products. Seafood and spicy foods are too irritating. If ingested too much, the wound just undergone surgery may continue to be stimulated, which may cause inflammation and bring pain to the patient.
3. Prohibition: Do not drink alcohol. Friends who like to drink alcohol should be careful to resist the temptation of alcohol during recovery from surgery, as alcohol can dilate blood vessels and may cause penis erection after drinking, which can lead to rupture and bleeding of circumcision wounds.
4. Keep clean and dry: After surgery, the wound should be kept clean and dry. Be careful not to wet the gauze when urinating. "After circumcision, there may be slight pain and swelling in the wound. You should take painkillers regularly and recover in about 7-10 days.". The wound suture uses absorbable suture, so there is no need to remove the suture. Before the wound heals, regular follow-up and reexamination should be conducted to provide postoperative health care for redundant prepuce.
5. Avoid infection: The swelling, pain, and bleeding of the wound should be treated promptly. If it is serious, it is necessary to return to the hospital immediately. If the wound is swollen, painful, and bleeding, local cold compress and pressure can be used to stop the bleeding; If bleeding is severe, return to hospital immediately. If there is an erection of the penis, please protect the wound with one hand and pinch the painful glans with one hand to allow the penis to subside naturally to prevent the wound from cracking. Always change your underwear to avoid infection.
6. Keep the perineum fresh and breathable: You should wear loose cotton underwear to reduce friction on the penis and keep the perineum fresh and breathable, which is conducive to maintaining smooth blood circulation.
7. Attention to rest: After surgery, rest in bed for 2-3 days, and do not stand or sit for long periods of time. Sitting for long periods can cause local blood circulation to be impeded, causing penis swelling, and is not conducive to wound healing.
8. Avoid sexual life:/STRONG 3-4 days after surgery, you can take an appropriate amount of sedatives before going to bed under the guidance of a doctor to prevent nighttime erection of the penis, causing pain or bleeding; Avoid sexual activity within a month after surgery to avoid wound rupture, bleeding, and pain.
9. Cleaning method: If the foreskin is too long, it should be cleaned regularly. The cleaning sequence is generally easy to understand. First wash the reproductive organs, then the anus. After washing the anus, you cannot use the same basin of water to wash the reproductive organs again. The drying sequence is the same as described above. Prepare a separate towel instead of mixing it with a foot wash towel. After wiping, wash the towel with clean water and let it dry.
It is a warm reminder that male friends must undergo surgery in a timely manner when they experience excessive foreskin, as this can reduce the occurrence of some unnecessary hazards. In addition, it is important to pay attention to the above nursing care after the surgery. I hope the above nursing items introduced by the editor can attract the attention of patients.
