Why Is My Glans Desquamating After a Foreskin Surgery?
After foreskin surgery, it is relatively normal for the glans penis to peel off, which is mostly caused by the application of iodophor solution. After surgery, patients need to pay attention to the following points:
Firstly, patients need to rest in bed and keep the penis upright, which can effectively reduce swelling and promote recovery.
Secondly, patients need to drink regularly, avoid holding urine, and eat more eggs and mutton, which can help heal the surgical incision. They should not eat spicy and stimulating food, and use antibacterial drugs reasonably under the guidance of doctors.
Circumcision refers to the removal of excessive foreskin, including the outer and inner plates of the foreskin, and then suturing the annular incision with a suture. It is an open surgery. Through surgery, the glans penis is fully exposed, which leaves no "hygiene dead corner" and is less likely to cause local infection of the foreskin.
After circumcision, it is recommended to soak in potassium permanganate for one week, take a shower after 2 weeks, and have sex one month later, which is beneficial to wound healing. Men with foreskin that is too long or phimosis need to undergo plastic surgery of the genitalia, and need to undergo foreskin excision surgery.
Here are a few things to keep in mind after foreskin surgery:
1. Wear loose underwear.
2. After circumcision, patients should rest in bed for 3 to 4 days to avoid standing or sitting for a long time. Some young people feel embarrassed to ask for leave after surgery and still insist on working, which can directly lead to swelling of the penis due to poor local blood circulation and affect wound healing.
3. The wound usually heals within seven to ten days after circumcision, but general body movements will not cause harm. After treatment, it is still better to wear loose and breathable underwear, and keep the penis upward to reduce swelling. Whether to use medication should be arranged scientifically under the guidance of doctors!
