Phimosis adhesion separation

Phimosis adhesion is usually caused by phimosis and is a relatively serious condition. Patients at this time need timely treatment, otherwise the penis will be prone to infection or inflammation. In fact, the current medical science is still very mature in the surgery for separation of phimosis adhesions. As long as the patient undergoes the relevant surgery and care in time, he or she can recover quickly.

1. How long does it take to heal after phimosis adhesion surgery?

This requires consideration of whether there is inflammation or adhesion. It usually takes 1 month to heal. If the adhesion is removed after the operation, just do a good job of disinfection. Generally speaking: Discomfort in the glans penis may occur during the recovery period after circumcision surgery, which is normal. Generally, this feeling will gradually disappear after about a week. It is best to rest for 1-2 days. You can rest in bed, surf the Internet, read a book, etc. Walk as little as possible to prevent postoperative bleeding. There will be slight pain and bruising in the wound after circumcision surgery. You should take painkillers regularly and it will heal in about 7 to 10 days.

2. Methods for preventing postoperative adhesion

Methods to prevent postoperative adhesions include surgical procedures and drug treatment. In terms of surgical operation, laparotomy should be avoided as much as possible, because the incision is large, the trauma to the peritoneum is great, and adhesions are prone to occur. Studies have found that the incidence of adhesion below the incision after open surgery is 60% to 90%, while the incidence of adhesion below the incision after laparoscopic surgery is only 14%. Other studies have shown that laparoscopic exploration after open ovarian endometrioma removal revealed adhesion formation in the surgical field in 100% of cases. For patients with a history of laparotomy, the reoperation time was significantly prolonged due to adhesions.

Follow the principles of microsurgery: Careful and standardized laparotomy or laparoscopic surgery is the prerequisite for reducing postoperative adhesions. The operating principles of microsurgery include magnifying the field of view, non-damaging traction of tissues, careful hemostasis, avoiding foreign bodies in the abdominal cavity, complete removal of diseased tissues, avoiding unnecessary tissue ischemia, correct apposition of tissue layers, careful identification of anatomical layers, and flushing and moisturizing of tissues.

3. Postoperative treatment of phimosis

In the care of phimosis, absorbable sutures are mostly used for wound suturing, so in most cases, there is no need to remove the stitches during circumcision surgery; some hospitals require stitches to be removed according to the doctor's orders; wear loose underwear after phimosis surgery. Generally, after the operation, the doctor will place a gauze curtain on the perineum after bandaging the wound, in order to reduce the friction of the glans penis.

In the care of phimosis, men should have less sexual thoughts during the recovery period of phimosis surgery and try to avoid contact with sex-related things to prevent penis erection pain; avoid alcohol, chili peppers and other irritating foods within one week after phimosis surgery, and smoking is strictly prohibited. Care for phimosis includes resting in bed for 3 to 4 days after phimosis surgery, and avoiding standing or sitting for long periods of time.

Foreskin adhesion separation

If there is no adhesion, manual treatment can be used. After disinfection, use 2% dicaine for anesthesia and expand the foreskin opening until the foreskin can be turned up. Foreskin edema may occur within a few days after separation, which can disappear by soaking in warm salt water. If the foreskin adhesion has not been significantly relieved, the same method can be used to treat it again if it recurs. This non-surgical treatment for foreskin adhesion does not cause bleeding, infection, or the need for suture removal, so it is easily accepted by children and their families.

The treatment of phimosis and foreskin adhesion can be performed at various ages of children, such as neonatal and infant period (0-1 years old), early childhood (1-3 years old), preschool period (3-7 years old), and school age (7-15 years old). It should be noted that although circumcision is a very small outpatient surgery, it can cause foreskin adhesion if the operation is not done carefully. This is because too much skin is retained on the body of the penis during the operation, which then crosses the coronal sulcus and attaches to the outside of the glans, eventually leading to adhesion.

Precautions for postoperative care after circumcision

There are some things you need to pay attention to during the recovery period after circumcision. Although circumcision is a very simple and minor operation, it will still have an impact on your body if you do not pay attention to the recovery period after circumcision. There are some things you need to pay attention to after circumcision, the details are as follows.

It is normal to experience some discomfort in the glans penis during the recovery period after circumcision surgery. Generally, this feeling will gradually disappear after about a week. The precautions for self-recovery after circumcision surgery play a significant role in surgical recovery and cannot be ignored. Generally, the dressing is changed every 3 days, and normal activities can be resumed after about 3 days.

If the penis is erect, please protect the wound with one hand and pinch the glans with the other hand to allow the penis to shrink naturally to prevent the wound from splitting. 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 immediately for treatment.
