    Circumcision surgery usually uses two methods: circumcision or circumcision surgery. The specific operation needs to be selected by the doctor according to the patient's condition.

    Circumcision is a traditional surgical procedure in which the doctor uses a scalpel or scissors to remove excess foreskin tissue and then sutures the incision. Local anesthesia is administered during the procedure, and patients usually experience no significant pain. After surgery, the wound needs to be kept clean and dry, and strenuous exercise should be avoided to prevent infection. Stapling surgery is a newer technique that uses specialized stapler equipment to cut and suture the foreskin. This kind of surgery takes shorter time, less blood loss, and relatively faster postoperative recovery. No matter which surgical method is used, necessary preoperative examinations are required to ensure that the patient has no contraindications to surgery. After surgery, you need to carry out wound care according to the doctor's instructions, conduct regular reviews, and observe the wound healing.

    After surgery, you should keep your perineum clean, wear loose and breathable underwear, and avoid rubbing the wound. You should keep your diet light and eat more foods rich in vitamins and protein to help with wound healing. Strenuous exercise and sexual life should be avoided within 1 month after surgery to prevent wound dehiscence. If any abnormalities such as obvious redness, swelling, exudation or fever occur, you should seek medical treatment in time. Regular review helps doctors evaluate recovery and adjust treatment plans in a timely manner.
