Due to the foreskin wrapping around the front end of the penis, the glans cannot be exposed, which is the definition of phimosis. If the foreskin opening narrows and cannot be turned up, it is called phimosis. If the foreskin is too long or if phimosis affects local cleanliness or causes sexual discomfort, circumcision surgery is required.
Circumcision is a very ancient surgery, especially in some Islamic and Jewish settlements where men undergo circumcision during infancy.
Therefore, circumcision can be performed on males across several age groups, from infants to the elderly.
The commonly used surgical methods for circumcision include circumcision, ligation, or laser resection.
Usually, circumcision can be performed in the surgical outpatient operating room.
In the eyes of surgeons, such surgeries can be considered a "piece of cake," but readers may ask, why did Cai have to perform them three or four times?
The penis is an organ composed of the corpus cavernosum, fascia, skin, and other organs. It is usually in a weak state, but it will erect during sexual excitement or sexual activity. The main reason is that the blood vessels in the penis are very rich, and during sexual excitement, the penis is significantly congested and swollen.
At present, the popular product for treating erectile dysfunction, the small blue film "Viagra", was first used to treat patients with cardiovascular diseases. Later, it was discovered that this small smurf could dilate the penile blood vessels, making the penis significantly erect. Therefore, this small smurf became popular worldwide, bringing huge profits to pharmaceutical companies.
Due to the abundance of blood vessels in the penis, veins spread like spider webs throughout various "corners", therefore, the key step in performing circumcision is to stop bleeding.
Even small bleeding points cannot be missed during surgery.
You may have this experience that after a slight cut on your finger, a small amount of blood comes out. Even if you don't pay attention to it, the blood will stop bleeding on its own due to the formation of blood clots (except for those with coagulation disorders).
But the skin and foreskin tissue of the penis are loose, coupled with dense spider web like blood vessels, which can easily penetrate into the loose tissue after bleeding, forming a hematoma.
Therefore, in addition to complete hemostasis during surgery, pressure bandage is also required for at least 3 days after surgery.
A patient who had undergone circumcision had difficulty moving due to a large piece of gauze wrapping around the penis, which caused the penis to become swollen and had to be treated again.
Readers do not need to be timid about circumcision when they see this.
Because the foreskin is too long or phimosis is easy to lead to unclean local cleaning. Long time uncleanness can not only form smegma, causing local repeated infection, but also is the culprit of penis cancer.
Existing data suggests that excessive foreskin leading to poor local cleanliness is a contributing factor to sexual partners' cervicitis and cervical cancer.
In addition, excessive foreskin length and tight foreskin opening can lead to incarcerated phimosis. If the foreskin is forcefully flipped upwards and not restored to its original position in time, the foreskin opening is tightly bound at the coronal sulcus, forming a tight and narrow ring. If not treated in time, it can cause foreskin swelling, even difficulty urinating, and penile foreskin necrosis.
Circumcision is performed in regular hospitals and generally does not result in excessive bleeding. However, there is a edema period of 3-5 days and a small amount of bleeding after circumcision. Therefore, on the second day after the surgery, the wound should be examined at the hospital and gauze with bleeding should be replaced.
Because the penis usually naturally erects during sleep, it is generally necessary to administer estrogen or sedatives before bedtime to reduce penile erection, facilitate wound healing, and prevent bleeding. Patients are generally not restricted in their activities, but in order to reduce friction between the penis wound and the surrounding area, outdoor activities should be minimized as much as possible within 2-3 days after surgery. As long as the patient takes careful care, the degree of penile edema will decrease day by day, and there will be no significant bleeding or infection of the penis. The suture can be removed on the seventh day after surgery.
