Although the foreskin operation is very simple and the pain is very small, if you do not pay attention before the operation, it may also have some adverse consequences. So, what preparations should be made before prepuce surgery?
Select the appropriate surgical opportunity:
If the foreskin has acute infection, the operation should not be performed until the inflammation subsides; If there is chronic inflammation in the foreskin and it does not heal for a long time, surgery should be performed as early as possible regardless of age, which is beneficial to the control of inflammation; If the foreskin is too long or phimosis affects sexual life after marriage, or causes infertility, surgery should also be taken. Of course, the best time for surgery is before any secondary disease occurs.
Eliminate tension:
Because the wound will be uncomfortable in the first few days after the operation, some people worry that it will affect sexual function after the operation. This idea is unnecessary. Generally speaking, circumcision will not affect normal sexual function. On the contrary, if you carry mental baggage, it may cause mental dysfunction.
Clean genitals:
From 3 days before the operation, the genitals should be soaked with warm water or 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution every day. During cleaning, the foreskin should be turned over to expose the coronal groove and thoroughly remove the foreskin scale. However, it should be noted that the foreskin should be reset in time after cleaning to avoid incarceration of penis foreskin.
Precautions after prepuce operation
After surgery, after the anesthetic effect subsides, the wound will have slight pain and bruise. You should take medicine regularly. Usually, the symptoms will subside after three days, and the wound will recover after seven to ten days. Before wound healing, follow up and recheck regularly according to the doctor's instructions.
In addition, the wound after the operation should be kept clean and dry. Please be careful not to wet the gauze when urinating. If the gauze is soaked in urine, you can remove the gauze first, and then return to the clinic for dressing change. After surgery, in addition to the fact that the children under general anesthesia need a short period of hospital observation in order to take care of safety, the general patients can still engage in daily work and do not need to be hospitalized. Adolescent and adult patients will have swelling, pain and bleeding due to penis erection after surgery. In case of slight bleeding, only local cold compress and pressure can be used to stop bleeding. In case of severe bleeding, immediately return to hospital.
