Patient's question:
Son is being treated for phimosis at the children's hospital. The doctor said it's best to have surgery. I'd like to ask what postoperative care is needed?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, if children have phimosis or excessive prepuce, it is best to seek surgical treatment in a regular hospital's urology department promptly. After the surgery, the main focus is on preventing infection. There may be swelling and pain again after the surgery. The first 3-4 days are normal and can subside on their own. Change the dressing on time, and no special measures are needed. However, if the swelling is severe, it is recommended to use physical treatment, such as applying warm compresses with magnesium sulfate, or using antibiotics to prevent infection. To prevent the penis from getting erect, avoid the incision from opening.
