The foreskin and phimosis are a serious threat to male reproductive health, and may also cause male infertility. Therefore, patients need to be treated at different times based on their specific illness, so they must go to a regular hospital for diagnosis, analyze their condition in detail, and then adopt appropriate treatment methods. However, postoperative care is even more important. What should we pay attention to for postoperative patients?
First of all, the swelling and leakage of the wound at the circumcision site after surgery are normal phenomena, and many patients are overly concerned about the speed of the elimination of edema. Experts say that mild edema of the penis within 3 to 4 days after the operation for excessive foreskin is a normal phenomenon, which is a reaction caused by anesthetic drugs and surgery. Note that the swelling appears pink at this time. Take a sedative such as Diazepam 2.5 mg before bedtime to prevent penis erection, causing pain or bleeding.
Secondly, it is necessary to pay attention to the cleanliness of the wound, avoid its contamination by urine, and be sure to actively change the dressing as instructed by the doctor. In order to avoid infection, it is necessary to do so. If it has been soaked in urine, it should be replaced as soon as possible. You can prepare 75% alcohol or 1:1000 bromogeramine cotton balls or isotonic saline cotton balls to scrub around the urethra after urination to keep the wound dressing clean.
During the recovery phase, patients should avoid wearing overly slimming clothing or tight underwear. Experts say that after general surgery, doctors place a gauze curtain on the perineum after dressing the wound in order to reduce the friction of the penis. After surgery, patients also need to pay attention to reasonable dietary arrangements. Experts point out that postoperative care is very important. After one month of surgery, patients can resume their sexual life. Do not eat spicy food, and do not smoke or drink heavily.
For male patients with foreskin and phimosis, in addition to the successful completion of the surgery, postoperative care is also very important for the speed and condition of foreskin recovery. If nursing is not appropriate, it not only affects the treatment effect, but also has a certain impact on the health of the patient, leading to the occurrence of various complications.
