What should be prepared before phimosis operation? How to choose the right surgical opportunity
Phimosis refers to that the opening of the foreskin is too small, so that the foreskin cannot be turned up to reveal the penis head; If the foreskin is too long, it means that the foreskin covers all the penis head, and the foreskin opening is not small, which can be turned up to reveal the penis head. Too long prepuce in infants is often physiological. Only when the penis still cannot be exposed after puberty can it be called phimosis or too long prepuce.
Phimosis should often be treated by surgery, and preoperative preparation is also an important part, so what should be paid attention to?
Choose the right operation time
If the foreskin has acute infection, the operation should not be performed until the inflammation subsides; If there is chronic inflammation in the foreskin and it does not heal for a long time, surgery should be performed as early as possible regardless of age, which is beneficial to the control of inflammation; If the foreskin is too long or phimosis affects sexual life after marriage, or causes infertility, surgery should also be taken. Of course, the best time for surgery is before any secondary disease occurs.
Eliminate tension
Because the wound will be uncomfortable in the first few days after the operation, some people worry that it will affect sexual function after the operation. This idea is unnecessary. Generally speaking, circumcision will not affect normal sexual function. On the contrary, if you carry mental baggage, it may cause mental dysfunction
Clean genitals
From 3 days before the operation, the genitals should be soaked with warm water or potassium permanganate solution every day. During cleaning, the foreskin should be turned over to expose the coronal groove and thoroughly remove the foreskin scale. However, it should be noted that the foreskin should be reset in time after cleaning to avoid incarceration of penis foreskin.
