Patient's question:
What are the effects of circumcision? How long does the wound take to heal?Doctor's answer:
The traditional surgical method for treating phimosis and excessive prepuce length is circumcision, which involves the distal annular resection of the prepuce. Although this method removes the excess prepuce, it is associated with a high incidence of complications. Since the excision of the prepuce also cuts its blood vessels, it can lead to venous and lymphatic, resulting in significant postoperative swelling that takes a long time to subside and causes unnatural appearance. If one or two small blood vessels are not completely hemostatic during the procedure, it may lead to postoperative bleeding or the formation of a scrotal hematoma. If the preputial frenulum on the ventral side of the penis is not handled properly, it can cause pain during erection, which over time may lead to avoidance movements and potentially result in erectile dysfunction. Currently, the primary method used for correcting excessive prepuce length is the penile root skin circumcision technique. This method does not damage the subcutaneous lymphatic and vascular system of the penis, and there is no postoperative venous or lymphatic. The retracted prepuce and frenulum remain undamaged, maintaining a natural appearance; there is no post-erectile pain; and it does not cause. The surgical method is simple, minimally invasive, with mild postoperative swelling and a short recovery period. The cost of prepuce surgery depends on individual circumstances and the hospital, as each person's condition is different, and the treatment plan and prognosis for recovery will vary. Many small clinics advertise low prices for prepuce surgery, but their hygiene and technology may not be up to standard, increasing the risk of postoperative infection. Therefore, if you need surgery for excessive prepuce length, it is best to choose a professional and reputable hospital.
