Patient's question:
The weather is getting hot, and I feel a bit uncomfortable due to the foreskin. I want to get it cut off at the hospital, but I'm worried about infection in the summer. I don't know what to do. Is it suitable to get the foreskin cut in the summer?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is possible to have a circumcision in the summer. The hot weather can easily lead to the growth of bacteria. If surgery is not performed, it can actually cause more bacteria to grow in the smegma, leading to more infections. As long as the patient follows postoperative care, such as avoiding water and strenuous exercise, infections are generally unlikely to occur.I believe everyone knows that phimosis can cause significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues, avoiding irritating foods, and maintaining a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits can be scheduled when necessary.
