Patient's question:
I've had a circumcision surgery for over ten days now, but the wound isn't healing well. It occasionally peels a bit. I also have difficulty controlling my urination and feel like I can't empty my bladder completely. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
The wound may have a risk of infection, which can affect wound healing. Additionally, difficulty urinating may be related to swelling of the glans or urethral meatus. It is recommended that you visit the urology department of a hospital for regular dressing changes. You can also apply Baisu ointment externally to the wound, soak the glans in a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. For patients with phimosis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect overall health. Therefore, patients should receive timely medication and maintain regular sexual activity in daily life to prevent prolonged sitting.
