What tests are needed before circumcision surgery?

Before circumcision surgery, blood routine, coagulation function, infectious disease screening, urine routine, electrocardiogram and other examinations are usually required. These tests help assess the safety of surgery and rule out contraindications.

Routine blood tests can reveal whether there is anemia or infection. Abnormal white blood cell counts may indicate an inflammatory response in the body. Coagulation function tests can evaluate the patient's hemostatic ability to avoid increased risk of bleeding during and after surgery. Infectious disease screening includes testing for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, syphilis, and AIDS. It not only protects medical staff, but also helps doctors formulate corresponding protective measures. Routine urine examination can detect infections or other abnormalities in the urinary system. An electrocardiogram is mainly used to evaluate heart function and ensure that the patient can tolerate the surgical procedure.

The perineum should be kept clean before surgery to avoid local infection. No food or water is required 8 hours before surgery to prevent vomiting and aspiration during anesthesia. Wear loose clothing to the hospital to facilitate dressing and recovery after surgery. Slight pain and edema may occur after surgery, which is normal. However, if bleeding or fever persists, you should seek medical attention for review in time. During the recovery period, avoid strenuous exercise and sexual life, keep the wound dry and clean, and change dressings and review regularly as directed by the doctor.
