What should I do if I bleed while retracting my foreskin?

Patient's question:

I accidentally tore my foreskin while trying to retract it. What should I do now? After three days, I can remove the gauze myself. What if I bleed when removing the last layer of white gauze?

Doctor's answer:

The issues you want to discuss after a circumcision surgery, the third day after the surgery when the stitches are removed, some people may develop blisters. If the bleeding is not significant and can be self-contained, it is generally not a major concern. Proper local hygiene and anti-inflammatory measures are sufficient. If there is extensive blistering, it may be necessary to go to the hospital for suture repair or other treatments. For patients undergoing circumcision, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
