Patient's question:
I have been circumcised for four days, and I still have wrapped around it, which feels a bit tight. Then when I urinate, I feel like I can't empty my bladder completely. What could be the reason? Besides, when I went to change the dressing today, the nurse changing the dressing told me that my wound is infected, there is some edema, and there is a bit of broken skin at the suture site under the frenulum. The nurse said it is very serious and asked me to use red light therapy. I didn't do it because it's 500 each time. Is it really contagious?Doctor's answer:
After the circumcision surgery, the risk of transmission is also very low. If transmission occurs, symptoms such as redness, swelling, heat, and pain may reappear, along with an increase in the amount of discharge. My suggestion is to send me your post-surgery photos so I can take a look and help determine how it might have been transmitted. For patients with phimosis, timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, and in daily life, they should avoid overexertion and pay attention to personal hygiene.
