Patient's question:
Doctor, I had my circumcision surgery on the 10th, and I haven't been able to take a bath yet. I'm using absorbable sutures for wound cleaning. It's been 11 days now. Can I take a bath? Is it okay to take a bath after a circumcision?Doctor's answer:
As long as there is no local redness or swelling, it's not a big deal. It usually takes about a week to form a scab. You should go to the hospital to change the dressing and carefully observe how the scab forms. As long as the scab is checked carefully, you can take a bath. It's better to take a shower to avoid stimulating the local area and causing redness or swelling. The foreskin can heal, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the symptoms. Additionally, patients should avoid sitting or riding for long periods and pay more attention to personal hygiene.
