Bruising after circumcision

Although the process of male circumcision is not complicated and is a minor operation without much danger, postoperative care cannot be taken lightly. Some men have experienced bruising after circumcision. What is going on? Relevant personnel said that the occurrence of congestion after circumcision surgery is related to many factors, and surgical patients must follow the doctor's instructions for care.

1. It is best to rest for 1-2 days after the operation. You can rest in bed, surf the Internet or read books. Walk as little as possible to prevent postoperative bleeding.

2. After the operation, try to avoid thinking about or touching pornographic or obscene magazines, online pictures and videos. Because contact with these things causes the penis to become erect, it is easy to cause postoperative bleeding.

3. Generally, change it every 3 days. After about three days, you can resume normal activities without any problems.

4. In addition to antibiotics, you should also take medications to prevent erection and relieve pain after surgery.

5. Discomfort may occur at the glans penis after the operation, which is normal. Generally, this feeling will gradually disappear after about a week.

6. The operation takes about 15 to 25 minutes and does not require hospitalization.

7. There will be slight pain and bruising on the wound after the operation. You should take painkillers regularly and it will heal in about 7 to 10 days.

8. Before the wound heals, regular follow-up examinations should be performed.

9. The wound should be kept clean and dry after surgery, and be careful not to wet the gauze when urinating.

10. The wound is sutured with absorbable sutures, so there is no need to remove the sutures.

Circumcision

11. If the penis is erect, please protect the wound with one hand and pinch the glans with the other hand to hurt it, allowing the penis to naturally deflate to avoid the wound from splitting.

12. If the wound is swollen, painful and bleeding, you can apply local cold compress and pressure to stop the bleeding; if the bleeding is severe, you should return to the hospital for treatment immediately.

13. Prepare a few extra pairs of underwear for changing (or buy disposable underwear), because tissue fluid may seep out and stain your underwear during the recovery period.

14. During the recovery period, it is best to avoid sexual thoughts, otherwise the natural physiological reaction will make you suffer! One month after the surgery, patients can resume their sexual life.

15. Carefully choose a qualified physician to perform the surgery, as the physician’s skills will affect the postoperative appearance and recovery process. For minor surgeries on critical parts of the body, choose a good doctor carefully!

16. After the operation, try not to get the dressing wet. If it gets wet accidentally during urination, be sure to change it as soon as possible. In normal times, wear loose underwear to reduce friction.

17. You should stay in bed and rest within 3-4 days after the circumcision operation. Try to avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time. You can take certain sedative measures under the guidance of a doctor to prevent penile erection.
