1. After surgery, one should rest in bed for 3-4 days and avoid prolonged standing and sitting. Some young people feel embarrassed to take leave after surgery and still insist on working. Due to poor local blood circulation, the glans penis swells into a purple eggplant shape, affecting wound healing.
2. Wear loose underwear. Generally, after dressing the wound, the doctor places a gauze curtain on the perineum to reduce friction on the glans penis.
3. Mild edema of the glans penis within 3-4 days after surgery is a normal phenomenon, which is a reaction caused by anesthesia and surgery. Note that the swelling appears pink at this time.
4. Do not wet the dressing during urination. If it has been soaked in urine, it should be replaced as soon as possible. You can bring 75% alcohol or 1:1000 bromogeramide cotton balls or isotonic saline cotton balls, and after urination, scrub the area around the urethra to keep the wound dressing clean. Alternatively, soak the head of the penis in warm water with 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution daily.
5. Within 3-4 days after surgery, take a sedative such as 2.5 milligrams of diazepam before bedtime to prevent penile erection, causing pain or bleeding. Young people should pay more attention to the sensitive nerve endings of the penis that have been covered for a long time. Once exposed, it is easy to have an erection. Therefore, they should avoid watching pornographic books, television, etc. Lovers should temporarily avoid hugging, kissing, etc. to avoid sexual stimulation.
6. Patients should go to the hospital for dressing changes and removal of skin sutures as required by the doctor. Surgical scars will gradually absorb and become smaller.
