I have always thought that when it comes to anesthesia, everyone should be worried. After all, the whole person will lose consciousness uncontrollably until one day, someone came to ask such a question:
Penis is too sensitive, can you use some anesthetic to relieve sensitivity?
Who’s Penis?
… …
However, since we have asked, let’s talk about some of the most common questions about local anesthesia today, including Penis’s question, of course.
Question 1: Is local anesthesia necessarily safer than general anesthesia?
Generally speaking, compared with general anesthesia, local anesthesia has the following advantages:
- Slightly higher safety: local anesthesia has little influence on the physiological function of patients during surgery, slightly higher safety, relatively few complications, and lower incidence of surgical sequelae; Simple operation: the whole operation is simple and easy, with low cost; Stay awake: The patient can stay awake during the operation, and the body [awakens] faster after the operation.
But!
Local anesthesia also has its own shortcomings, such as:
- Limited ability: after all, only local [sleep] is allowed, the range of action is small, and it cannot meet the high requirements of surgery such as muscle relaxation and analgesia. Incomplete anesthesia: Incomplete anesthesia may cause pain… but this rarely happens; Side effects: A large number of local anesthetics will have serious side effects when they are mistakenly absorbed into blood, but they can be basically avoided through standardized operation. Allergy: Some patients with allergic constitution may be allergic to anesthetic.
After seeing the advantages and disadvantages of local anesthesia, don’t you feel more confused?
In fact, which anesthesia method is used for a certain operation must be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. To choose the most appropriate anesthesia method, there is only one most pertinent suggestion: listen to the anesthesiologist.
Question 2: Why is there still touch after local anesthesia?
This is a question that puzzles many people.
After local anesthesia, doctors will not feel pain during the operation, but they can also feel the contact between the surgical instruments and the body.
In fact, when anesthetic plays a role, according to the difference of concentration and action time, the order of human sensation disappearance is: pain, cold, temperature, touch and pressure. When anesthetic is just applied, the function is not complete and there may be touch. With the extension of action time, touch will gradually disappear.
In most cases, what we call [touch] actually comes not from the surgical site under local anesthesia, but from the surrounding or deeper parts of the body.
Question 3: Penis is too sensitive. Can you use some anesthetic to relieve it?
For this exciting question, the answer that can be given now is: at present, there is less research in this field and there is no clear conclusion. It is suggested to use it with caution and less.
Although some studies have shown that the use of local anesthetic drugs can significantly improve the sexual intercourse time of some premature ejaculation patients, it may also be accompanied by a decrease in sexual pleasure, and a slightly unguarded dose is too large, which may also lead to erectile weakness, non-ejaculation, etc.
At present, there are also condoms coated with surface anesthetic drugs on the market, which claim to make you invincible… However, it is better not to use such drugs for a long time and must not be used in excess, otherwise it may bring certain harm to the body.
(Please pay special attention to the bold part of this paragraph)
Question 4: Will local anesthesia affect one’s IQ?
For this problem, my current thinking is that the key to IQ is to look at my own foundation.
Today’s anesthesia technology is becoming safer and safer. Local anesthesia drugs mainly act on nerves in a certain area and usually do not enter blood, and will be removed by metabolism within a certain period of time, not to mention affecting postoperative brain development, IQ and EQ will not affect yo.
Question 5: Is local anesthesia appropriate for rhinoplasty?
There are many kinds of rhinoplasty operations, and everyone’s sensitivity to pain is also different.
1. Simple rhinoplasty with small surgical scope
This kind of local anesthesia with less bleeding, less difficulty and relatively low cost is generally sufficient, although there will be more or less discomfort.
Of course, if you are very sensitive and afraid of pain, you can also consider general anesthesia if you want to feel better during the operation.
2. Total synthesis or costal cartilage rhinoplasty
These operations are slightly more difficult, with a wide range of operations and a large amount of bleeding. General anesthesia is usually recommended.
Question 6: Do epidural anesthesia and local anesthesia affect the fetus?
It has no effect on the fetus.
Epidural anesthesia mainly acts on nerves in epidural space, not blood vessels.
Even if a small amount of anesthetic is absorbed into the blood, their content in the blood circulation of the whole body is very small, and the drug cannot pass through the blood-fetal barrier between the mother and the child, so don’t worry too much.
Question 7: Why is it poisoned after local anesthesia?
Before answering this question, I would like to stress one point first. The probability of poisoning is very low. Don’t panic.
However, if the following conditions occur, resulting in an increase in the level of local anesthetic in the body, exceeding the patient’s tolerance, it will indeed cause systemic poisoning:
- Too much dose; Straying into blood vessels; The blood supply at the injection site is abundant and the drug is absorbed too quickly. The patient’s constitution is too weak and his tolerance to local anesthetics is poor.
When local anesthetic poisoning occurs, anesthesiologists will make timely treatment according to the emergency plan to help patients stabilize various vital signs. When accidents occur, we must cooperate with doctors and do a good job in first aid.
