Does phimosis surgery require hospitalization?

Edema after circumcision is a common symptom. Slight edema of the glans penis within 3 to 4 days after the operation is normal, but there are individual differences. The reason for edema is that after circumcision, the blood circulation system at the foreskin frenulum is very rich. After the operation, the blood vessels and lymph vessels of the skin are disconnected, and new return circulation pathways are established, resulting in poor return flow, which takes some time.

Phimosis surgery is a minimally invasive surgery that does not have a great impact on daily life, so the patient does not need to be hospitalized and we can leave after banding. However, in daily life, we must pay attention to good nursing measures to avoid infectious symptoms, otherwise it will have a very serious impact on the treatment effect. Usually we should follow the doctor's instructions and take antiviral drugs in a timely and appropriate amount, and we should also take drugs that inhibit androgen metabolism to avoid erection, which can easily cause wound dehiscence. We should also pay attention to dietary care and avoid eating caustic foods and seafood. These foods will have a negative impact on the healing of the wound.

The patient must not get the wound wet when urinating, otherwise it will easily cause infection and inflammation.

Patients must not engage in sexual intercourse within one month after surgery, otherwise it will easily cause wound dehiscence, which will affect the effectiveness of the treatment.

Phimosis surgery is a minimally invasive surgery that can be performed in a hospital outpatient setting and does not have a great impact on daily life, so we do not require hospitalization.
