What is the best age for foreskin surgery?
Too long foreskin has many effects on health, especially sexual life, so if there is a phenomenon of too long foreskin, it is necessary to do foreskin surgery, so what age is the best for foreskin surgery? When is foreskin surgery best done? The best time of foreskin operation can be decided according to the actual situation. Let's take a closer look at the contents of foreskin surgery.

1, the best age for circumcision.

Almost all men grow foreskins in childhood. If urination is not affected, surgery can be performed after the age of 65,438+06, because boys generally begin to develop at the age of 65,438+02. With the development of Tintin and glans penis, the foreskin will open automatically, and most foreskins will heal themselves. However, if the foreskin is too long and the glans cannot be exposed during erection, surgery is needed.

2. Does the foreskin have to be cut?

Not necessarily. The foreskin is a little long, and Tintin can shrink back to reveal the glans penis when he is erect. Generally, there is no need for surgery, as long as he cleans the foreskin every day and keeps some parts clean and hygienic.

However, if the glans penis can't be exposed during erection, glans dermatitis occurs repeatedly, or the foreskin thickens due to chronic inflammation, and the external opening of the foreskin is narrow, which affects normal sexual life, it is necessary to do circumcision.

3. Will the foreskin be too long to correct itself?

If the foreskin is too long, if it is not very severe, it can correct itself. Push the foreskin up by hand two or three times a day. Pay attention to the gentle exertion and slow manipulation. The glans penis will be exposed for 3-5 minutes, and then let go. At first, the foreskin will recover after releasing the hand, and the above action can be repeated once. If you persist for a few months, the glans penis will develop faster, grow bigger, with prominent edges and long foreskin, which can be improved.

4. Treatment of long foreskin

(1) Non-surgical therapy

If the foreskin is too long, always turn it up, clean the Tintin head and the coronal sulcus, and keep it partially clean. However, it should be noted that the foreskin should be reset every time it is turned up to avoid incarceration.

If the foreskin is incarcerated, you can squeeze the swollen foreskin and Tintin's head by hand to reduce edema. You can also apply oil lubricant to Tintin's head and coronary sulcus, push Tintin's head inward with your thumb, and squeeze the swollen foreskin toward Tintin's head with the rest of your fingers.

(2) Surgical treatment

If the foreskin is too long, if there is scale or repeated inflammation, or if you want to improve your appearance, you can do circumcision.

Pay attention to careful physical examination before operation, and those with bleeding tendency and suspected tintin cancer should not be operated; Patients with local inflammation must undergo surgery after the inflammation subsides; People with congenital Tintin malformation should not be circumcised because these patients may need to repair the deformity of the foreskin.

5. The harm of long foreskin without treatment

(1) Affect sexual life

It has a certain influence on sexual life, causing difficulty in sexual intercourse, reducing loveliness, or failing to attract orgasm, or even causing incarcerated phimosis, that is, after the foreskin is turned up during sexual intercourse, it is difficult to turn down because the foreskin mouth is small, so that the foreskin mouth is tightly clamped in Tintin, causing congestion, edema and pain.

(2) causing inflammation

Excessive prepuce can cause Tintin's head dermatitis. The result of inflammation can cause adhesion, which in turn affects the loosening of prepuce and then forms secondary phimosis. Adhesion can also cause urethral stricture, which not only aggravates dysuria, but also causes upper urethral dilatation and renal function damage.

(3) Carcinogenesis

The foreskin is too long to be cleaned easily, which will lead to a lot of scales. This scale is composed of sebaceous gland secretions, exfoliated epithelial cells and sediments in urine, and contains a large number of viruses and carcinogens, which can induce Tintin cancer in men themselves and easily enter women through sexual life, causing cervical cancer.

6, foreskin surgery instructions

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.
