What should children pay attention to after prepuce surgery?
Excessive prepuce is a common disease in andrology. Too long foreskin will breed scale, cause inflammation, affect the sexual life of husband and wife, and lead to premature ejaculation. If the skin turns white for too long, it will breed bacteria, infect women and cause gynecological diseases. Let's take a look at what we should pay attention to after prepuce surgery in children. After the operation, after the anesthetic effect subsides, the wound will have slight pain and swelling, so take the medicine regularly. Generally, the symptoms will subside after three days, and the wound will heal in seven to ten days. Before the wound heals, follow the doctor's advice and follow up regularly. In addition, the injured part should be kept clean and dry after operation. Please be careful not to wet the gauze when urinating. If the gauze is soaked by urine, you can take it off first and then go back to the clinic to change the medicine. After operation, patients can still do their daily work without hospitalization, except for children under general anesthesia who need short-term hospitalization observation for nursing and safety reasons. Teenagers and adult patients will have swelling, pain and bleeding caused by penile erection after operation. If there is slight bleeding, they only need local cold compress and pressing to stop bleeding. If there is serious bleeding, they should go back to the hospital immediately. Because the wound is stitched with absorbable suture, there is no need to remove the suture after the wound heals. If necessary, the wound can be soaked in clean warm water to promote the suture to fall off. How big is children's foreskin suitable for surgery? It is normal for a child to have a long foreskin and wrap the whole penis head. With the increase of age, the foreskin gradually retreats to the penis head. When an adult's penis is erect, the two layers of skin in the foreskin stretch into one layer. If the penis head is completely wrapped by the foreskin, it is called the foreskin is too long; When the foreskin is too long and the foreskin mouth is too narrow to turn over the exposed penis head, it is called phimosis. If the foreskin is too long, it is necessary to turn the foreskin up frequently, clean the penis head and coronary sulcus, and keep some parts clean. Circumcision is necessary if there is scale accumulation or repeated inflammation. Phimosis must be circumcised. After the foreskin is incarcerated, go to the hospital as soon as possible. The simplest and most effective treatment is circumcision. With the growth of age, most children will naturally get better. If the foreskin can't be turned up by the age of seven or eight, surgery will be done. At this time, the child can understand the doctor's words and cooperate, and "honestly" lie on the operating table for surgery. If it is phimosis, the foreskin mouth is very small, and the foreskin bulges like a ball every time it urinates, so it needs to be treated by expanding the foreskin mouth at an early stage. Pediatric surgery in regular hospitals can do this minor operation. Generally speaking, patients should consider foreskin surgery without general anesthesia after puberty. However, if the boy is complicated with repeated inflammation or even urinary tract infection because of the long foreskin, he should be treated surgically as soon as possible and circumcised. Whether newborn boys should be circumcised or not is controversial, so we should consider it carefully and not make a hasty decision. If the baby has hypospadias, don't circumcise it, because the repair of hypospadias needs foreskin. What kind of foreskin should I see a doctor immediately? Under normal circumstances, children's foreskin is slightly longer and wraps around the glans penis and urethral orifice, which is a physiological phenomenon. As long as urination is normal, no operation is needed in childhood. However, the following conditions need symptomatic treatment: 1, the foreskin mouth is narrow, forming phimosis, which leads to obstruction of urination, and there are small bubbles in the foreskin cavity during urination. 2. There are scales in the foreskin cavity, which often causes inflammation such as redness and swelling of the foreskin. 3, the foreskin adheres to the glans penis, which often causes local itching and other discomfort. When there is no inflammation in the foreskin, it can be treated by expanding the foreskin mouth, separating the adhesion of the foreskin and removing scales. After treatment, the foreskin should be cleaned frequently to prevent scale accumulation and foreskin re-adhesion. Some children may have swelling of the foreskin after the expansion of the foreskin, which is not a big obstacle. It can be washed with warm saline or 1/5000 potassium permanganate solution twice a day, which usually disappears in 3-4 days. If the foreskin is red, swollen and inflamed, it can be washed with 1/5000 potassium permanganate solution, 2-3 times a day, and oral antibiotics for several days. After the inflammation has completely subsided, the foreskin can be expanded. Circumcision is generally recommended after puberty and before marriage. However, if it is often inflammation in childhood that leads to cicatricial stricture of prepuce, circumcision is feasible, but it is not advisable to cut off too much prepuce.
