    Because excessive foreskin is very harmful, if we have this kind of symptom, we should go to the hospital immediately for circumcision surgery to minimize the occurrence of male diseases and alleviate the impact of excessive foreskin on the human body. However, in daily life, many people still do not know much about phimosis surgery and do not know whether hospitalization is required after surgery. Therefore, we should have more professional knowledge about these aspects in order to be prepared.

    So does phimosis surgery require hospitalization? Phimosis surgery is a minimally invasive surgery. It does not have a great impact on daily life, so the patient does not need to be hospitalized. 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. We should not eat caustic foods and seafood. These foods will have a negative impact on the healing of the wound.

    There are many common problems after phimosis surgery. After the phimosis operation, the patient must do a good job of hygienic care, especially keeping the vagina clean. We should not wear underwear that is too tight, and should wear light and breathable cotton underwear, and change it frequently to avoid the growth of bacteria. The patient must not get the wound wet when urinating, otherwise it will easily cause infection and inflammation. If this happens unfortunately, we must go to the hospital immediately to replace the medicine. 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. However, in daily life, patients must take appropriate nursing measures, go to the hospital regularly for dressing changes, and avoid stiffening, otherwise it will easily cause the wound to open and affect the effect of surgical treatment.
