What should you pay attention to in your diet after circumcision surgery?

After circumcision surgery, the diet should be light and easy to digest, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and appropriately supplement high-quality protein and vitamins to promote wound healing.

1. Light diet

It is recommended to choose low-residue foods such as rice porridge, noodles, and steamed eggs for 1-3 days after surgery to reduce gastrointestinal burden. The cooking method is mainly steaming, and avoid frying or grilling. You can eat yams, pumpkin and other mucin-rich foods in moderation to help repair mucous membranes.

2. Avoid spicy and exciting food

It is forbidden to consume chili, pepper, mustard and other seasonings within 2 weeks after surgery, and avoid alcohol, strong tea, coffee and other irritating drinks. These substances may increase local congestion, causing the wound to bleed or increase pain. Onions, ginger, garlic and other auxiliary ingredients should be cooked and used in small amounts.

3. High-quality protein supplement

From the third day after surgery, low-fat and high-protein foods such as fish, chicken breast, and tofu can be gradually increased, and the daily intake is controlled at 100-150 grams. Protein is an important raw material for tissue repair, but it is necessary to avoid allergenic animal proteins such as mutton and seafood.

4. Vitamin intake

Fresh vegetables and fruits such as broccoli, kiwi, oranges, etc. can provide vitamin C and vitamin K. The former promotes collagen synthesis and the latter helps blood coagulation. It is recommended to consume 300-500 grams of vegetables and 200-350 grams of fruits every day. Pay attention to washing and peeling to avoid diarrhea.

5. Moisture management

Drink 1500-2000 ml of water every day and drink in small amounts in batches. Drink freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices or light honey water appropriately and avoid sugary drinks. Adequate fluids can dilute the urine and reduce irritation of the surgical site during urination.

You need to maintain a regular diet within 1 month after surgery and avoid overeating. Observe the wound healing situation. If there are any abnormalities such as redness, swelling, and exudation, please review it promptly. You can cooperate with the doctor's advice to use topical drugs such as Kangfuxin Liquid to assist recovery, but you cannot take antibiotics on your own. During the recovery period, strenuous exercise is prohibited. Wear loose cotton underwear to reduce friction and keep the perineum clean and dry.
