1, about the pain For the child to choose to do circumcision, parents must have gone through a struggle of thought, no matter what the reason, finally decided to do the surgery, also chose to bravely face the surgery may bring pain, here first of all for the parents and children to praise! I’d like to explain a few types of pain: pain without surgery: as I said when the child was seen, children with prepuce need surgery, children with long foreskin can do it or not, and if they have ever had inflammation, it’s better to do it either way. The problem of children’s foreskin is ultimately a matter of local cleanliness and hygiene, if the child with a foreskin is always unable to expose the glans to clean, inflammation is a matter of time, when the penis swells up like a ham hock, the pain is very distressing. So “long pain is better than short pain”, the surgery was done to reveal the glans to clean it every day, the child will be able to play happily in the future ah. As for those children who can clean the glans and coronal sulcus after turning the foreskin, I’ll give you a score of 80 or more, you can go home with peace of mind, after all, we don’t have to modify with the original.
Pain at the time of surgery: most parents are worried about the pain of the child at the time of surgery, but in the eyes of the doctor is the least worried. Because every child needs to be anesthetized before surgery, the surgeon will not do anything until the anesthesia takes effect, which is a basic humanitarian ethics, do you still imagine your child being pulled into the operating room screaming and being cut off with a knife? I can only say: “I can not do ah”! The real picture should be like this: (general anesthesia version) soft voice of the doctor and nurse led the child into the operating room, the anesthesiologist slowly add drugs so that the child unconsciously fell into sleep, the operating room echoed the rhythmic heartbeat from the instrument, the main surgeon and assistant a few simple jargon dialogue, less than 10 minutes the operation is done. (Local anesthesia version) soft voice of the doctor and nurse to lead the child into the operating room, while the operation with the child to talk about family, mainly ask you in which school to go to school ah, how academic performance ah, there is no girlfriend ah and so on, the key step will prompt the child doctor to catch insects, a little itchy a little tight, the child with this after the operation is done.
The pain after the surgery: the pain after the surgery is the real baptism of the boy’s advancement into a man. However, we also have a way to make the child as comfortable as possible. As the anesthetic slowly starts to wear off an hour or two after the surgery, the child will also slowly feel pain due to the fresh foreskin wound, which is unavoidable for anyone. At this time, parents need to provide timely guidance and encouragement to the child, and also need to interact with the doctor in a timely manner to help the child get through this “male hurdle”. I will send you a questionnaire through the platform the night after the surgery, please fill out the feedback so that I can clearly understand the pain situation of the child after the surgery, I will guide the parents to take different relief measures according to the different degrees of pain, including warm water bath, oral over-the-counter pain medication, topical pain cream and other methods. The platform is a good ready-made channel. Anyway, it may take three or four days, and as the wound slowly scabs over, the child will naturally tell you whether it hurts or not with his activity.
Pre-healing pain: After the child has passed the most painful stage after surgery and has been active for ten or eight days, it is time to enter the sensitive period before the wound heals. Because the surgical wound gradually formed scabs will slowly loosen over time, if accidentally cut to these scabs will cause wound traction, so there will still be some pain. The solution is not complicated, including increasing the time and frequency of wound baths, using medication to promote wound healing, etc. The goal is to get the scabs to soften and fall off completely as soon as possible. In addition, when it comes to pain caused by pulling the wound, erection is the most common cause at night, in the morning and when holding urine. In order to reduce the pain caused by erection, it is recommended that children should avoid eating hot, warm food after surgery, instead of drinking some herbal tea to lower the fire is the correct posture, and also to develop the habit of urinating regularly to avoid going to the toilet only after holding urine. Therefore, this period of time, in addition to bravely facing the pain can develop manhood, but also through surgery to urge children to develop good hygiene habits.
2. About swelling The foreskin of children is a relatively loose and tender tissue, which is sensitive to external stimulation and is more prone to swelling, but not every child will have foreskin swelling after surgery, and not every foreskin swelling is called infection. Parents can see that the foreskin adjacent to the wound is swollen with white and clear, which can be observed without any fuss. As the tissue wound is gradually repaired and the anesthetic cream is metabolized and cleared, the edema will also slowly subside. There are oral and topical medications available to you for the treatment of edema, so it is enough to use these medications for your child.
Unfortunately, the redness of infection: after all, the geographical location of the circumcision wound can be said to be a collection of human bacteria, if the post-operative local hygiene care is improper or sloppy, it is inevitable that the bacteria will be infected. This situation is common a week or more after surgery, when the wound scab begins to loosen, the fresh wound under the scab has bacteria invading and multiplying in the edematous tissue, the local will become bruised red swelling, and there is a purulent discharge oozing. At this time, the child should be brought to the hospital for follow-up, and in addition to changing the medication regimen for active treatment, the child should learn the key points of postoperative care again. I really hope that this will not happen to your child.
Early healing edema: When the foreskin wound has healed and the scab has fallen off, a small percentage of children’s foreskin will still be swollen, what should I do? Careful parents may notice that the swelling is caused by the flesh inside the foreskin swelling up and turning out. The foreskin is divided into the outer and inner plates, comparing the foreskin to our sleeves, the outer and inner plates are equivalent to the fabric and lining of the sleeves. edema. For this kind of edema or to do some work: if it is within half a circle of edema, let the child wear tighter cotton underpants, the penis upward vertical pocket up, as the so-called good boy top day no longer hanging, two or three weeks time will slowly reduce the swelling; if you see the ring-shaped edema like the glans wear a big bracelet look, then we must come to the hospital as soon as possible to do a treatment, we will use a fine needle We will use a fine needle to puncture and discharge the fluid inside, the edema will be eliminated immediately, and then continue to stand on the top.
