Patient's question:
My cousin endured the pain of a circumcision surgery, thinking that after recovery, he would be like everyone else. However, the results didn't seem too good. After the surgery, he experienced a split stream when urinating. My cousin believes the surgery was somewhat successful and plans to go to the hospital for further examination. However, it doesn't hurt or bother him much.Doctor's answer:
After a male undergoes a circumcision procedure, urination may be split. This is normal. The recurrence of this condition in males is primarily related to edema after circumcision. Therefore, there is no need to be overly concerned. Proper post-circumcision care is sufficient. Males must strictly avoid sexual activity and penile erection for at least one month after the surgery to prevent the incision from tearing due to penile erection. Additionally, it is essential to maintain cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia. Avoid strenuous exercise, such as horseback riding or cycling, and refrain from consuming spicy, acidic, or cold foods. Also, avoid alcohol. By following these post-surgery care instructions, recovery after circumcision can be improved.
