Patient's question:
Doctor, I plan to go to the hospital next month to get my foreskin circumcised. Could you tell me what precautions I should take before the surgery?Doctor's answer:
Circumcision is a minor surgery, and there's not much to prepare for beforehand. If anything, the only thing to do is take a shower before the surgery. It's best to avoid any inflammation in the area of the glans to prevent scarring on the wound. The surgery can be done on an outpatient basis with local anesthesia, so there's no need to worry too much. After the surgery, it's important to change the dressing on time, avoid sexual stimulation, refrain from eating spicy or irritating foods, and avoid smoking or drinking beer.
