In real life, some men are often affected by problems such as foreskin elongation and phimosis. At this point, in order to address the issue, treatment with circumcision was initiated. But most people, after receiving treatment, neglect it and eventually develop other problems due to improper care, affecting the physical and mental health of male patients. So, we need to study the care content after circumcision and how to wear clothes?
Before studying what to wear, the first thing to understand is what circumcision is? Why remove the foreskin? What are the benefits?
What are the benefits of circumcision?
Circumcision is a minor surgery mainly applied to patients with foreskin elongation or phimosis. The reason why patients accept circumcision is mainly due to the following advantages: ① reducing the sensitivity of the male glans, improving male endurance during sexual intercourse, and thus preventing premature ejaculation. ② Phimosis can provide a breeding ground for bacteria, viruses, etc. During sexual activity, it can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, abnormal vaginal discharge, chronic cervicitis, etc. in women. After excision, it is difficult to harm women's physical health and effectively avoid the occurrence of cross infection. ③ Can cure the problem of foreskin too long; ④ After excision, it can break the damp environment of the original foreskin and reduce the occurrence of inflammation. ⑤ Circumcision can effectively prevent cancer.
After studying why circumcision is performed, it is necessary to investigate what to wear after circumcision?
What should I wear for circumcision?
In real life, some people say they don't wear anything or wear loose clothing, which can alleviate pain and reduce the friction of the penis. This may seem reasonable at first glance, but it is not scientific. Because theoretically, after receiving treatment, men need to be hospitalized and use protective shields to support and cover their upper and lower buttocks. And rest at home for 7 days. It is best to wear nothing at this time and lie flat to reduce damage to the penis.
But nowadays, circumcision is performed in outpatient clinics. After treatment, patients leave the hospital directly and even go to work directly. If loose underwear is worn or not worn at this time, the wound will be repeatedly rubbed and the pain will increase. So, it's best to wear tight underwear at this time. After the surgery, stand the bandaged penis upright and use tight underwear to completely secure the penis, reducing the friction of walking on the penis and minimizing bleeding from the wound. In addition, after the surgery, tight underwear should be worn for 10 days, and after the wound heals, switch to loose underwear. If it is a patient during or after puberty, it is necessary to resume certain physical activities to help the penis adapt to the new environment, and resume sexual activity as early as possible to prevent the occurrence of prostatitis.
After explaining what to wear, what specific precautions should be taken?
What are the precautions after circumcision?
After circumcision, the following should be noted: ① Postoperative bleeding: bleeding will occur within 24 hours after surgery, especially during nocturnal erections, which are more likely to cause bleeding, so it needs to be taken seriously. ② Urination: Within 3 days after surgery, especially before the first dressing change, it can affect urination. It is best to use toilet paper, dry cloth, etc. to dry the penis after urination to keep it dry and clean. ③ Incision cracking: Within 7 days of excision, do not stimulate, fantasize, or hold urine to prevent penile erection and the problem of wound cracking. ④ Rest: It is best to rest for 2 to 3 days after surgery. Do not stand, sit for long periods of time, or walk, as this can worsen edema, affect local blood circulation, and hinder wound healing. ⑤ Diet: After surgery, do not eat spicy or stimulating foods such as seafood, and do not drink alcohol. You can supplement milk, meat, and eggs appropriately. ⑥ Dressing change and suture: Changing the dressing 2 to 4 days after surgery, removing the dressing after 7 days, and then changing the dressing again can restore normal activity. ⑦ Pay attention to resistance and wait for the scab to naturally fall off. ⑧ Phimosis swelling: This is a normal phenomenon. After 2 to 3 days of pressure bandaging, edema can be reduced. ⑨ Emergency situation: In case of discoloration of the glans penis, abnormal swelling of the wound area, extensive bleeding from gauze, wound infection, etc., it is necessary to promptly seek medical attention at the hospital.
