What should be noted before foreskin surgery?

Patient's question:

I had a long foreskin since before, and when I was in school, I wanted to get it cut off but was afraid of the pain. Later, a friend told me that it wouldn't affect sexual life, so it wasn't a big deal. After my divorce, I noticed that my sexual stamina was always short during intercourse, and my wife often got gynecological problems when she was with me. After consulting a doctor at the hospital, he also recommended that I get it cut off. What should I pay attention to before getting a foreskin surgery?

Doctor's answer:

Circumcision, although a minor surgery, requires some attention. Preoperative precautions include:
1) Wash the area the night before and on the day of the surgery.
2) For patients with second-degree neuron phimosis or balanitis, early treatment is necessary. The surgery should only be performed after the inflammation subsides.
Postoperative precautions include:
1) Avoid walking, cycling, sexual stimulation, and fantasies for three months after the surgery to prevent repeated erections from affecting wound healing.
2) Maintain cleanliness in the perineal area to prevent local contamination.
Prostate diseases can be very serious. Patients are advised to seek timely and symptomatic treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow their doctors' recommendations for treatment. At the same time, pay attention to self-care training, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
