Postoperative precautions for redundant prepuce
Postoperative wound care
Change dressing: After surgery, the wound should be kept clean and dry. Be careful not to wet the gauze when urinating. Change dressing once every 2-3 days.
Pain and swelling: After surgery, there will be slight pain and ecchymosis swelling in the wound. You should regularly take anti-inflammatory drugs prescribed by your doctor. This condition can be cured in about 7 to 10 days.
Edema: After circumcision, there will be mild edema in the wound, which is a normal postoperative reaction and does not require special treatment. However, if there are blisters, severe edema, or blue and purple glans congestion, you should immediately come to the hospital for treatment.
2. Avoid sexual stimulation
Within a week after circumcision, try to avoid sexual stimulation, fantasies, and urination, to avoid repeated penile erections that affect wound healing, or lead to rebleeding.
Contraindication of sexual life within 1 month after surgery to prevent incision dehiscence or bleeding. Although the wound can heal within a week after surgery, at this time, although the wound has grown well, it is not strong enough to withstand excessive traction. Therefore, if you have sex, it will cause the wound to crack and bleed.
3. Diet adjustment
In terms of diet, try to eat light food and avoid spicy and stimulating foods.
4. Proper exercise
Avoid prolonged walking or sitting, which can compress the wound and slow the healing process.
"Pants should be loose and kept dry. If they become contaminated, they should be replaced in a timely manner. Local areas should be ventilated and not always stuffy, which may be detrimental to wound healing.".
