What are the nursing measures after phimosis surgery? Can you smoke after phimosis surgery
The phimosis is more serious than the foreskin. The phimosis cannot be opened. The dirt in the foreskin can stimulate the foreskin and glans tissue. Once the infection occurs, it is easy to induce the foreskin and glans inflammation, which is very difficult to treat. What nursing measures are there after phimosis operation?
What nursing measures should be taken after phimosis surgery:
◆ Do not wet the dressing when urinating during phimosis surgery. If it has been soaked by urine, it should be replaced as soon as possible.
◆ Avoid alcohol, pepper and other irritant foods within one week after phimosis operation.
◆ After phimosis surgery, rest in bed for 3 to 4 days to avoid standing and sitting for a long time. Some young people are ashamed to ask for leave after surgery, but still insist on working. Due to poor local blood circulation, the penis head is swollen directly, affecting the wound healing.
◆ If there is bleeding and swelling after phimosis operation, you should come to the hospital for further consultation and see the nearest hospital.
◆ No smoking after phimosis operation!
◆ After phimosis surgery, wear loose underwear. Generally, after dressing the wound, the doctor puts a gauze curtain on the perineum to reduce the friction of the penis.
◆ Mild edema of penis head within 3 to 4 days after phimosis operation is a normal phenomenon, which is the body reaction caused by anesthetic and operation. Note that the swelling is pink at this time.
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.
