Why is there edema after circumcision? How to nurse after circumcision?
In life, many men have symptoms of long foreskin. At this time, foreskin surgery is needed, but there are many places to pay attention to during the operation. So why is there edema after circumcision? How to nurse after circumcision? Let's take a closer look at the causes of edema after foreskin surgery and what are the correct conditioning methods.

1. Causes of postoperative edema of prepuce

First, the edema after foreskin surgery may also be too tight, leading to poor local reflux.

Second, edema after prepuce surgery may be that some superficial veins were cut off by surgery, resulting in poor venous return.

Third, edema after foreskin surgery may be that the foreskin itself has a narrow ring, and the narrow place is not completely cut. After operation, because the stenosis ring still exists, the venous return is not smooth. Generally speaking, poor lymphatic reflux will lead to lymphedema, and poor venous reflux will lead to edema after foreskin surgery.

2. Edema after prepuce surgery?

Generally, you can recover by yourself, and the time is about 2-3 weeks. However, due to individual differences, there are also pathologies that take 3 months to recover, so don't panic too much. Generally speaking, edema can be eliminated by waiting for a new foreskin circulation to be established.

3. How to care after foreskin surgery?

1, especially on the first day after operation, attention should be paid to bleeding. Pay attention to the situation that the gauze is soaked by blood, and ask a doctor to check it in time if necessary. If the bleeding problem is not solved in time, there will be adverse consequences such as Tintin hematoma.

2. It is recommended to go to the hospital for dressing change and disinfection of the wound every two days after operation. Please ask the doctor to check whether the wound is secondary to infection, and add antibiotics if necessary to facilitate postoperative wound healing. If the gauze is accidentally soaked or stained by urine, you should go to the hospital to change the dressing at any time to prevent the wound from being soaked and infected.

3. Adult men should take estrogen drugs in the first five days after operation, and avoid external sensory stimulation by diverting attention to prevent Tintin's erectile pain and secondary bleeding. If the doctor doesn't provide it, you should take the initiative to ask the doctor to provide such drugs. Because it takes a short time, you don't have to worry about the side effects of estrogen.

4. From the second day to half a month after the operation, try to hold Tintin up with underwear at any time, so that Tintin can stand upright (the urethral orifice is up), except when urinating. This has many advantages, which can avoid swelling, infection and secondary bleeding in the front of foreskin and frenum.

5. After the stitches are removed, if a small part of the wound of the foreskin still does not heal, or it does not heal well, you can buy erythromycin ointment or moist scald ointment at the drugstore by yourself, and apply it to the partially unhealed wound 3-5 times a day, and it will heal itself within 3 days.

6. Pay attention to rest after foreskin surgery. Some men are very anxious and nervous about the symptoms of edema after foreskin surgery, which is unnecessary, because edema after foreskin surgery is generally a normal phenomenon, as long as they pay attention to nursing and rest at ease. Of course, those with severe edema should consult a doctor in time and seek medical treatment in time without delay.

7. For adults, it usually takes 2 weeks, preferably 3 weeks, after surgery to share a room. Premature sexual intercourse may cause the newly healed wound to split again and prolong the postoperative recovery time.

8. Pay attention to the diet after operation, be careful not to eat spicy, cold, greasy and seafood foods, do not drink alcohol, keep the diet light and nutritious, and eat more fruits and vegetables, which is conducive to the recovery of the wound.

4. Precautions after foreskin surgery

1, postoperative incision bleeding: the most common problem is 24 hours after operation. If the amount of bleeding is not large, such as bleeding is only a part of gauze dyed red, you can stop bleeding by yourself without special treatment. If there is incision bleeding, gauze bleeding, hematoma in the patient's Tintin foreskin, etc., you should go to the hospital immediately.

2, postoperative incision dehiscence: within one week after circumcision, try to avoid sexual stimulation and fantasy, urinating, and avoid the wound dehiscence or rebleeding caused by Tintin's repeated erection; Sexual life is forbidden within 1-2 months after operation to prevent incision from cracking or bleeding. However, the wound will be different according to individual circumstances, and the wound healing time will be different.

3, postoperative foreskin edema problem: there will be mild edema in the wound after circumcision, which is a normal postoperative reaction. It usually takes 2-3 days to relieve postoperative edema. But if you have difficulty urinating, or blisters, or severe edema, or glans abrasions, you should come to the hospital for treatment immediately. Generally, 2-4 weeks after operation, the foreskin edema will gradually subside. However, a small number of patients will have postoperative foreskin edema for a long time, mainly because the subcutaneous lymphatic vessels are cut off surgically, resulting in poor return of edema fluid. After a period of recovery, you can generally recover on your own.

4. Postoperative micturition: 2-3 days after operation, pressure bandage may affect micturition, resulting in a small amount of urine overflowing from urethral orifice after micturition. Therefore, it is recommended to dry the residual urine at the urethral orifice with toilet paper or dry cloth after each urination, and pay attention to keeping the gauze clean and dry. If the gauze is soaked by urine, it is recommended to change the dressing in time. If conditions do not allow, you can also use a hair dryer to dry it temporarily. Be careful not to overheat, causing thermal damage to Tintin's head.

5. Rest after operation: Avoid standing, sitting or walking for a long time after circumcision. It is recommended to rest on your back for 3-5 days. If you sit for a long time or stand for a long time, the foreskin edema will increase and the local blood supply will be poor, which will affect the wound healing.

6, postoperative clothing problems: wear loose underwear after circumcision to reduce the friction on Tintin's head.

7, postoperative dietary problems: avoid alcohol after circumcision, try to eat less spicy food.

8, postoperative suture problem: generally, there is no need to remove stitches after circumcision, 1-2 weeks will automatically fall off. The wound healed in about 1 week, but sexual life (sexual intercourse or masturbation) or trauma may still split within 1-2 months. Please come to the hospital in time if the wound opens.

9. Postoperative infection: In terms of anti-infection after circumcision, due to Tintin's good blood supply and strong anti-infection ability, antibiotics can generally be given for one week after ordinary circumcision. In addition, change the medicine every 2-4 days according to the doctor's advice. For patients with phimosis, if the peeling surface of glans penis skin is large, there is more oozing blood during operation, and the recovery time is estimated to be long, antibiotics can be injected intravenously appropriately.
