With summer vacation fast approaching, many parents have questions about whether their little boy is circumcised. Does he need to be surgically removed? Before answering the question, we must first know what is called circumcision.
The circumcision is the foreskin covering the urethral opening, but can be turned out to reveal the urethra and glans. Circumcision means that the opening of the foreskin is narrow and the foreskin is difficult to flip up to reveal the glans. Determine whether it is circumcision or prepuce.
What are the dangers of overcircumcision and prepuce? The chronic stimulation of long-term urine and foreskin scale can cause edema, congestion, erosion, recurrent cross-infection and even foreskin ingrowth, and long-term chronic inflammatory stimulation can progress to penile cancer.
When should circumcision be operated? There is no clear rule in the textbook about the age of surgery, but it is clinically recommended to complete circumcision before puberty, and for circumcised patients, surgery should be done as early as possible.
What are the cautions after circumcision? After circumcision, you should rest more, avoid strenuous activities, eat a light diet, do not eat stimulating food, you can wear loose and breathable underwear after surgery, generally in seven to ten days of healing, it is recommended to have sex only after 1 month after surgery.
