The danger of too long foreskin is very great, and prepuce surgery is very important for men. The foreskin should be cleaned in stages. When the male prepuce is phimosis, whether before or after the operation, we should pay attention to the periodic selection of washing. The patient should pay attention to some matters after the operation. So why should the operation be performed for the long prepuce?
1、 Affect the growth and development of penis; Too long foreskin and phimosis will affect the growth and development of the penis. In adolescence, because the penis head is firmly wrapped by the foreskin and cannot be stimulated by the outside world, the development of the penis head is greatly constrained, resulting in a significantly smaller circumference of the crown of the penis head after the maturity of sexual organs, affecting sexual pleasure.
2、 Causes prepuce hyperinflammation; When the phimosis or foreskin is too long, the secretion of sebaceous glands in the foreskin cannot be discharged, and the deposits in sebum and urine form cheese-like and smelly foreskin scale. The foreskin scale is suitable for bacterial growth, so it can cause inflammation of the penis and foreskin. Bacteria can also cause urinary tract infection through the urethra. Inflammation at the urethral orifice can cause the urethral orifice to be narrow after healing, resulting in difficulty in urination.
What are the precautions after prepuce operation?
1. It is a normal phenomenon that the glans of penis may be uncomfortable after the operation of long prepuce. Generally, this feeling will gradually disappear after a week or so. It is better to rest for 1-2 days. You can rest in bed, surf the Internet or read books. Walk as little as possible to prevent postoperative bleeding
2. Postoperative urination should avoid wetting the dressing as much as possible. If the dressing is polluted by urine, it should be replaced in time. If you are a married man, you should pay attention to the fact that the couple must live apart for a period of time after the operation, and try to avoid sexual impulse.
3. Do not wet the gauze when the patient urinates.
4. Take sedatives before going to bed within 3 to 4 days after the operation to prevent the penis from erecting, causing pain and bleeding.
What are the precautions after prepuce surgery
1. The wound should be kept clean and dry after operation, and be careful not to wet the gauze when urinating. Most of the wound sutures are absorbable sutures, so it is not necessary to remove sutures in most cases. Some hospital operations need to follow the doctor's instructions.
2. After the operation, patients are encouraged to urinate in time to avoid urinary retention.
3. Keep the perineum clean. After surgery, some patients may have discomfort in the foreskin. Scratching should be prohibited. After defecation, they should be cleaned to prevent local pollution.
4. In case of penile erection, please protect the wound with one hand and pinch the painful glans with one hand to let the penis subside naturally, so as to prevent the wound from cracking. If the wound is swollen, painful and bleeding, local cold compress can be used to stop bleeding; If the bleeding is serious, return to the hospital immediately.
5. Take sedatives properly before going to bed within 1 month after the operation to avoid pain and bleeding caused by penis erection.
6. One month after the operation, the patient can resume his sexual life. Don't eat spicy food, and don't smoke or drink heavily.
After the foreskin operation, you should pay attention to hygiene, and you can't keep cleaning up, otherwise, a lot of foreskin dirt will continue to remain on the foreskin, forming an aggravation of inflammation. You can try to ask the doctor to help prescribe some topical drugs. When cleaning up, you can apply drugs to relieve pain. If you feel itching, you will continue to be infected, and see a doctor in time.
