The foreskin is a part of the male external genitalia, but if the foreskin is too long, it can easily affect the health of the male genitalia. The common method of treating redundant prepuces is surgery. So what should be paid attention to when performing foreskin surgery? Below is an introduction to the relevant precautions for the operation of redundant foreskin for your reference.
1. After surgery, in addition to the fact that children under general anesthesia require brief hospital observation for safety reasons, the general patient can still engage in daily work and does not need to be hospitalized.
2. After surgery, the wound 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 first remove the gauze and then return to the clinic for dressing changes.
3. After surgery, when the anesthetic effect subsides, the wound may experience slight pain and congestion. Medications should be taken regularly, usually within three days, the symptoms can subside, and the wound can heal within seven to ten days. Before the wound heals, regular follow-up and reexamination should be conducted according to the doctor's requirements.
4. Adolescent and adult patients may experience swelling, pain, and bleeding from their wounds due to penile erection after foreskin surgery. If there is slight bleeding, only local cold compress and pressure should be used to stop the bleeding. If the bleeding is severe, it should be immediately returned to the hospital for treatment.
5. During the circumcision operation, the doctor will give appropriate anesthesia according to the patient's situation. In order to avoid the vomiting reaction caused by the patient's maladjustment to narcotic drugs, the patient should fast for four to six hours before the operation.
6. The circumcision is the most common minor operation in all urology, but this operation also needs to be performed in a regular andrology hospital due to its special location.
