I had a circumcision surgery a week ago and it hurts, what should I do?

Patient's question:

I had a circumcision surgery last Wednesday, and it has been a week now. There is still some bleeding and discharge at the frenulum area. The urethral meatus is very red, and I wake up several times at night due to erection pain. At the time, I followed the doctor's advice and removed the bandage myself two days after the surgery, applying benzalkonium chloride solution to the wound. I took anti-inflammatory medication for six days, which I have now finished. Do I need to focus on selling anti-inflammatory medication now?

Doctor's answer:

The wound is very red. Besides, it is still inflamed. It is recommended that you go to the hospital regularly for medication changes and use some anti-inflammatory drugs. Make sure not to let the wound get wet. For patients with phimosis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If not treated promptly, it may affect your health. Therefore, patients should take oral medication in a timely manner and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
