Patient's question:
Male, 21 years old, my son seems to have some phimosis. My friend said that if the foreskin is too long, it can cause inflammation, and it might even lead to impotence and premature ejaculation. They also said that since my son is young, it would be very suitable for him to have the surgery. However, I'm not very familiar with this area, so I'd like to ask: What should I pay attention to four days after the phimosis surgery?Doctor's answer:
Just after surgery, you need to pay attention to keeping the incision bandage clean and dry at all times. Although it has been four days now, the wound hasn't healed yet, so you should still be cautious when exercising. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and drink more water. Of course, complications may reappear after surgery, but don't worry too much. For example, swelling may occur again. Yes, it will happen due to the effect of gravity. You can lift the scrotum to alleviate it, and the swelling usually subsides within 3-7 days. Pay attention to changing the dressing every day. Generally, stitches can be removed about 7 days after surgery.
