Is it necessary to operate on an excessively long foreskin? Although some people undergo circumcision surgery to reduce the probability of contracting sexually transmitted diseases, not all people can achieve good preventive effects, and some people can also affect the pleasure of sexual life, or cause significant pain due to the involvement of the penis due to too short foreskin.
Currently, with the continuous improvement of sanitary conditions, the probability of foreskin infection and penile cancer has decreased significantly. Therefore, for most patients with excessive foreskin, as long as attention is paid to maintaining local cleanliness and hygiene, surgical resection is not a necessary option. Only patients with phimosis that have difficulty in upturning and narrow foreskin opening, tight foreskin opening after erection, difficult exposure of the glans, recurrent prepuce balanitis, genital infection, or other abnormalities of the foreskin need surgery, and doctors' advice should be taken.
What should I pay attention to when undergoing circumcision? "The reason for circumcision is because some men have phimosis or an excessively long foreskin, which is a very small procedure.". In order to avoid infection, keep clean and sanitary within 1 week before the operation, avoid having sex, and do not have infectious diseases. If there are infectious diseases, you must wait until they are cured before performing prepuce surgery.
Although the foreskin surgery is small, it should also be done in a regular hospital. At present, there are many ways to cut foreskin, including surgery or laser cutting. The doctor will advise postoperative precautions, including being careful when urinating, avoiding wetting wounds, avoiding alcohol consumption, avoiding spicy food, exercising carefully, paying attention to protecting the area, avoiding collisions, and more. Generally, the suture can be removed within a few days after surgery, but do not engage in too intense activities in the short term.
As for when to start sexual life, everyone's situation is different. Generally, it is preferable to wait 1 to 2 months after surgery, and wait for the wound to completely heal before recovering for a period of time. It is best to take a longer rest to allow the wound to recover better.
