Patient's question:
I went to see a doctor recently, and the doctor said I should prepare for a circumcision.Doctor's answer:
Circumcision surgery is a very simple minor procedure and there is no need to worry. Please rest assured and seek treatment at a regular hospital! Generally, the following points should be noted before undergoing circumcision surgery:1. If you have a concurrent condition such as balanitis or posthitis before the surgery, medication and partial immersion treatment should be used. The surgery should only be performed after the inflammation subsides.
2. It is best to fast for 4-6 hours before the surgery, otherwise it may cause discomfort.
3. It is inevitable to feel very nervous before the surgery. You should actively adjust your mindset. Surgery is a minor procedure, so do not put too much pressure on yourself, as this may lead to psychological dysfunction.
4. On the night before the surgery and on the day of the surgery, the patient should clean the area. Starting 3 days before the surgery, use warm water or a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution to bathe the genital area daily. During cleaning, the foreskin should be retracted to expose the corona, and the smegma should be thoroughly removed. However, it is important to note that after cleaning, the foreskin should be returned to its normal position promptly to avoid the formation of phimosis.
