Can I drink alcohol after circumcision?

Circumcision is mainly performed on male friends when they are around 15 years old. Circumcision at this time can reduce the side effects of the operation and avoid infections of the reproductive organs. For male friends who have undergone circumcision, it is best not to drink alcohol, because drinking alcohol will stimulate the adhesion of the skin, and they should not have sex and take good care of the wound, so as to increase the success rate of the operation.

You cannot drink alcohol after circumcision surgery. It is best not to drink alcohol within one month. It is best not to eat spicy food within one month after smoking. You need to rest for 3 to 5 days after circumcision surgery. Sexual intercourse is prohibited within one month after circumcision surgery. You need to pay attention to many issues after the operation. You should choose nutritious food after the operation. You can eat some fresh fruits and vegetables after the operation.

Wound care after circumcision surgery

1. It is best to rest in bed within one week after circumcision surgery and avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time. Some young people are too embarrassed to ask for leave after surgery and still insist on working. Due to poor local blood circulation, this directly leads to edema in the affected area, affecting wound healing.

2. It is better to wear looser clothes after circumcision surgery. Generally, after the operation, the doctor will place a gauze curtain on the perineum after bandaging the wound. The purpose is to reduce friction at the wound site.

3. It is normal to have mild edema at the wound within 3 to 4 days after circumcision. This is a body reaction caused by drugs and surgery. Note that the swelling is pink at this time.

4. Do not get the dressing wet when urinating. If it is soaked with urine, it should be replaced as soon as possible. You can prepare 75% alcohol or 1:1000 Sanisol cotton balls or isotonic saline cotton balls, scrub the area around the urethra after urination, keep the wound dressing clean, or soak the head of the penis in 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution in warm water every day.

5. Within 3 to 4 days after surgery, take sedatives such as 2.5 mg of diazepam before going to bed to prevent physiological reactions from causing wound tearing, causing pain or bleeding. If the wound becomes inflamed and infected and cannot heal for a long time, you can apply wet compresses with the wound-closing formula and take some anti-inflammatory and detumescent drugs orally at the same time.

Precautions before and after circumcision

There are things that men should pay attention to before and after circumcision. They must wash their reproductive organs before the operation and be gentle afterwards because the wound has not yet healed.

Preparation before surgery

1. Please clean your genitals before surgery and wear loose clothes to the hospital. If you are going to have general anesthesia, ask your doctor in advance what you need to be aware of.

2. Communicate with your doctor. There are many surgical methods, the main one is to remove the excess foreskin on the glans, and then suture it to expose the glans and coronal sulcus. If too much foreskin is retained, adhesions between the foreskin and the coronal sulcus may form in the future, forming smegma. If too much foreskin is removed, it may cause pain during erections in the future, so you should communicate with the hospital in advance.

3. This kind of surgery on a baby needs to be performed in a regular hospital and by an experienced doctor. After the operation, if the condition is stable, you can go home for care and nursing without having to stay in the hospital.

Postoperative care

1. Wipe with a clean towel instead of bathing, and do not let the wound come into contact with water within 5 to 7 days. Babies wearing diapers will inevitably be stained with urine, which requires parents to change their diapers frequently.

2. You can take a bath or shower one week after the operation, which can accelerate the shedding of the scab on the surface of the glans. It usually takes 2-4 weeks to heal.

3. Do not clean the scab by yourself, because part of the baby's foreskin is stuck to the glans epidermis, and these two parts will be peeled apart during the operation. A yellow scab will form on the glans epidermis 1-2 days after the operation, like an epidermal abrasion and very similar to inflammation.

Parents don’t need to worry at this time. This is a normal phenomenon after surgery. Do not clean these scabs by yourself, otherwise it will cause bleeding.

4. Generally speaking, the foreskin wound will heal in about 2 weeks. After the operation, parents should not let their baby wear tight or non-breathable clothes to avoid friction or inflammation of the glans.
