Hello, after the circumcision surgery, it is important to urinate promptly to prevent urinary retention. Keep the perineal area clean. Some patients may experience discomfort in the local area after the surgery and should avoid scratching. Both before and after urination and defecation, ensure the area is thoroughly cleaned to prevent contamination.If there is an erection, use one hand to protect the wound and the other hand to firmly press the painful glans to allow the penis to naturally subside, avoiding the wound from tearing open. If the wound swells, aches, or bleeds, apply local cold compresses and pressure to stop the bleeding. In cases of severe bleeding, seek immediate medical attention.
After the surgery, the wound should be kept clean and dry. Be careful not to wet the gauze when urinating. Most wounds are sutured with absorbable stitches, so they usually do not require removal. However, some hospitals may require stitches to be removed according to medical advice.
One month after the surgery, the patient can resume sexual activity but should avoid spicy foods and foods that are considered "heating" in traditional Chinese medicine, such as chicken, duck, beef, lamb, and seafood. Do not drink alcohol or smoke. I do not think nutritional supplements are necessary.
