What problems do you need to pay attention to after foreskin surgery? How to nurse best after prepuce operation?
There are many places to pay attention to after foreskin surgery, and then maintenance work needs to be done to better recover. So what problems do you need to pay attention to after foreskin surgery? How to nurse best after prepuce operation? The following is a detailed understanding of the problems that need to be paid attention to after circumcision, and what are the nursing methods after circumcision.

1, Precautions after circumcision

1, postoperative incision bleeding:

24 hours after operation is the most common. This stage is just after surgery, and the incision is prone to bleeding, especially after erection at night, which requires special attention. 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 the bleeding of the incision is not stopped, resulting in the gradual increase of the dyeing range of gauze, or the continuous bleeding of gauze, or the patient is uncertain about the wound, he should go to the hospital immediately for treatment.

2, postoperative urination problems:

In the first three days after operation (especially before the first dressing change), because the dressing change of the wound may affect urination, so when urinating, try to lean forward and keep the urethral orifice vertically downward to avoid urine flowing onto the gauze. However, it is still possible that a small amount of urine still overflows from the urethral orifice after urination. It is suggested to dry the residual urine at the urethral orifice with toilet paper or dry cloth after urination, and pay attention to keeping the dressing 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.

3, postoperative incision dehiscence problem:

Within one week after foreskin surgery, try to avoid sexual stimulation, fantasy and urination, and avoid the wound from cracking or bleeding again because of 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.

4. The problem of wearing underwear after operation:

What kind of underwear should I wear after circumcision? Some people say nothing, others say loose clothes. The truth is actually the same: reduce the friction of Tintin's head and keep the female private parts fresh and breathable. So how can we reduce friction and keep the permeability of women's private parts? After the operation, the doctor will wrap the patient's Tintin and stand it up, that is, Tintin's head is up. At this time, you can cover Tintin with a disposable cup (remove the bottom and cut the side hole to breathe) to prevent Tintin's glans from touching the surroundings, and then you can wear loose underwear; It can also be directly covered with tight underwear to completely fix Tintin. When walking in this way, Tintin will only rub slightly or not, reducing incision bleeding and relieving pain and discomfort.

5, postoperative rest problem:

It is normal that the glans penis may feel uncomfortable after Tintin's operation. Therefore, if conditions permit, we suggest taking a proper rest for 2-3 days to avoid standing, sitting or walking for a long time. 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. Some young people are embarrassed to ask for leave after the operation, but they still insist on working. Due to poor local blood circulation, it directly leads to swelling into purple eggplant, which affects wound healing.

At the same time, try not to think about or touch pornography, obscene magazines, online pictures and videos after surgery, because touching these things will easily lead to postoperative bleeding after Tintin's erection. Especially young people should pay more attention not to hug, kiss, etc. Avoid irritation in the meantime. At the same time, some patients can also consider taking sedatives before going to bed to prevent Tintin from erection at night, causing pain or bleeding.

6, postoperative dietary problems:

Avoid alcohol after foreskin surgery, try to eat less spicy food, and supplement meat, milk and eggs appropriately to promote wound healing. Seafood and raw, cold, hard and spicy foods should be properly avoided, and animal livers should be fully cooked, not cold.

7, postoperative dressing change and suture problems:

Generally, the dressing should be changed 2-4 days after operation according to the doctor's advice, and it can be removed and bandaged after 1 week. After a dressing change, normal activities are generally good. Keep the wound dry. If the gauze wrapped in the wound falls off or becomes wet, it should be replaced in time. Especially when urinating, don't wet the dressing. If the gauze is soaked by urine when urinating, it should be replaced in time. After urination, you can scrub around the urethra to keep the wound dressing clean. For patients with phimosis, if the peeling surface of glans penis skin is large, there is more bleeding during operation, and the recovery time is estimated to be long, the number of dressing changes can be appropriately increased to observe the wound healing.

Absorbable suture for prepuce surgery. If there is no infection or bleeding, it is generally not necessary to remove. It can be absorbed by itself in about 3-4 weeks, and there is no need to remove stitches when the knot falls off. The wound healed in about 1 week, but it takes about 6-8 weeks for the wound to heal completely and withstand external forces such as sexual life, so sexual life (sexual intercourse or masturbation) or trauma may still split within 1-2 months after operation. Please come to the hospital in time if the wound opens.

8, postoperative infection:

In the aspect of anti-infection after circumcision, due to Tintin's good blood supply and strong anti-infection ability, antibiotics can generally be given for 3-7 days after ordinary circumcision. As long as there is no infection after foreskin operation, it can basically be cured within 5-7 days. No matter when there are more scabs on the glans, they don't need to be removed in advance and naturally fall off.

9, postoperative foreskin edema problem:

It is normal to have mild edema in a short time after foreskin surgery, which is the body reaction caused by surgery. Generally, pressure dressing is needed for 2-3 days to reduce postoperative edema. If the edema is mild or just ventral edema, no special treatment is generally needed. Generally, 4 weeks after operation, the foreskin edema will gradually subside, but a few patients will have foreskin edema for a long time after operation. This is because the original circulation is destroyed after the operation, and the edema will disappear after the new circulation is established. After a period of recovery, they can generally recover by themselves, but some of them need to be bandaged by pressure after operation.

10, postoperative emergency:

If the wound site is abnormally enlarged, the glans penis turns purple and dark, there is a lot of oozing blood on the gauze, wound infection and so on. After the foreskin operation, you should go back to the hospital immediately for a follow-up visit. However, it may be difficult to urinate because of tight dressing, blisters, severe edema, or glans abrasion, and you should come to the hospital immediately for treatment.

2. Precautions before foreskin surgery

(1) Choose the appropriate operation opportunity: Circumcision of phimosis should be performed before any secondary lesions appear.

(2) Cleaning pudendal region: From the third day before operation, soak pudendal region with warm water or 1: 5000 potassium permanganate solution every day, mainly to remove skin scales, but it should be noted that the foreskin should be restored to its original position in time after cleaning to avoid phimosis incarceration.

(3) Eliminate the tension of phimosis circumcision: Because the wound will be uncomfortable in the first few days after operation, many people worry that it will affect sexual function after operation. In fact, this kind of worry is unnecessary. Generally speaking, this kind of operation will not affect the normal sexual function of men. On the contrary, if you bear a mental burden, it will affect sexual dysfunction.
