Patient's question:
I used to have a long foreskin. When I was in school, I wanted to get it cut off but was afraid of the pain. Later, a friend told me it wouldn't affect sex life, so it wasn't a big deal. After my divorce, I noticed that my sex life was always short, and my wife often got gynecological problems when she was with me. After consulting a doctor at the hospital, they also recommended that I get it cut off. What should I pay attention to before getting a foreskin surgery?Doctor's answer:
Circumcision surgery, although minor, 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 inflammation must subside before the surgery can be performed. Postoperative precautions include: 1) Avoid walking, cycling, sexual stimulation, and fantasy for three months after the surgery to prevent repeated erections of the penis from affecting wound healing. 2) Always keep the perineum clean to prevent local contamination. The condition of male diseases is very serious, and patients are advised to seek timely and symptomatic treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow their doctors' advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to self-care training, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
