Patient's question:
I recently got ready to get married, but during the pre-marital health check-up, the doctor conducted a thorough examination and said I have phimosis. He mentioned that there were many smegma inside and recommended that I undergo a circumcision. He also said that otherwise, it would interfere with my future sexual life and could lead to gynecological diseases in my wife. I plan to have it done next week.What kind of help I need: Hello, what should I pay attention to after undergoing a circumcision?
Doctor's answer:
Dear Inquirer,It is normal to experience swelling again after a circumcision, so there is no need to worry too much. Please pay attention to the following points:
1. Avoid sexual activity.
2. Refrain from spicy and irritating foods.
3. Quit smoking and drinking alcohol.
4. Avoid prolonged sitting or long-distance cycling.
5. Change the dressing on time and attend follow-up check-ups regularly.
6. If any other discomfort occurs, seek medical attention promptly.
