Two days ago I went to the urology department to visit,
Hearing something that startled me off my jaw!
A young man was busy buying tools online to circumcise himself because he was busy at work, and accidentally overturned his car to come to the hospital for help.
Ten thousand os in koda's heart:
Hmmm ~ can this be done at home?
No matter how busy you are, you can't save time on this matter,
After all, it is a big thing related to male "sexual bliss"!
Curious,
I consulted customer service on a treasure:
"Without a hint of risk?" These words,
Do you believe it, I don't believe it anyway
Last week, when talking about the male treasure's private parts nursing,
I saw a lot of small partners asking [circumcision] questions.
Whether to cut or not is the most entangled problem for everyone
Today, the University of Science and Technology will talk about whether to cut or not!
First, cut or not cut?
That is a question！
In fact, the foreskin is not cut,
It is mainly determined by the tintin state of the own baby.
The foreskin is generally divided into: normal, excessively long foreskin and phimosis.

If the baby is normal,
Surgery does not need to be considered.
The second is that the foreskin is too long,
But too long foreskin doesn't mean it has to be cut.
Because too long is not a pathological condition,
Rather, it is an acceptable individual difference.
As long as there are no urinary tract infections, difficulties urinating, etc.,
We do a good job of daily cleaning on it.

The third case is phimosis.
Nine times out of ten newborn baby boys are phimosis,
This is called physiological phimosis.
This situation also does not need to be overly worried,
Generally do a good job of daily cleaning.
But be aware:
Turning the foreskin is for cleaning, and washing should be turned back in time.
The action should be gentle, do not forcibly flip the foreskin, not only painful, but also may cause the foreskin to tear and scar formation.
Some children do not wash their foreskins in time,
After repeated inflammation, the foreskin adheres to the glans penis,
Scars form at the mouth of the foreskin,
The foreskin cannot be retracted,
Pathological phimosis is formed.
In this case, circumcision needs to be considered.
In short, the foreskin is not cut if you want to,
The doctor will judge according to the baby's specific situation.

Second, cut the foreskin, look at the age?
There is no age limit for foreskin surgery,
As long as there are indications for surgery,
You can do it.
Simply the foreskin is too long and can be turned over,
Most can be improved by development.
By the time of puberty, the foreskin is still very long and other indications appear,
It's never too late to have surgery again.
If it is phimosis can first be treated conservatively with cortisol hormone ointment,
If it does not work, choose surgery.
3. Which surgical method is better?
There are three main types of foreskin surgery.
They are traditional circumcision, circumcision and ligation, and circumcision stapler method.

Under normal circumstances, it can be done in 5-30 minutes,
But just because you're done foreskin doesn't mean everything is going to work out!
If not reviewed in time,
Maybe it's a white knife!
In the early postoperative period, mild adhesions between the glans and the foreskin are common,
These adhesions usually resolve gradually on their own.
But after 3-6 months after surgery,
There is still adhesion in the foreskin and glans,
Need to go to the hospital for reprocessing.
Generally, the first week, the second week, and one month after the operation should be reviewed.
Don't be careless after surgery,
HKUST summarized the issues that need attention in home nursing,
Take a small notebook and write it down!
1. Should I wear underwear after surgery?
Don't wear it!
Because residual urine tends to stick to the panties,
If you accidentally touch the wound, the pain will be aggravated,
It is also prone to infection.
The right thing to do is to tell your child not to wet the wound as much as possible.
If necessary, you can buy a tintin protective cover,
(A treasure directly search [foreskin after circumcision underwear])
Wear it when not taking medicine.

2. What should I do if I have swollen tintin and painful urination after surgery?
Local edema or redness lasting 2-4 weeks after surgery is normal,
We encourage children to drink water and urinate normally.
Some children do not drink water or hold urine because of painful urination.
This is not only not conducive to recovery,
It also increases the risk of urinary tract infections.
3. Do I need to take a shower after surgery?
Bathing immediately after surgery may lead to infection,
We endure until the wound heals.
It's really uncomfortable to screw the wet towel to 80% dry,
Rub the baby's body.
Generally, it takes about 4-6 days after surgery,
Only recommend taking a shower.
4. What should I do if I bleed from tintin?
Bleeding from foreskin surgery is a relatively common phenomenon.
If it is a little bleeding like a skin trauma,
Clean it with medication and just rest in bed.
But if it has been blood DC,
Go to the hospital immediately!
Today's science popularization is over,
Finally, Keda would like to say:
