Patient's question:
I just had a circumcision surgery and came home. The gauze is peeling. I'm 18. What should I do? The instructions say to use local cold compress and apply medicine, but it hurts a bit. How should I do it? Thank you very much for the doctor's quick clarification.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if it's not a continuous peeling, don't touch it. Because sometimes a little bit of blood may come out after surgery. If you can't handle it yourself, it's easy to cause wound infection such as balanitis. If there is obvious dripping blood, you should go to the hospital for a thorough examination. Also, in the near future, avoid stimulating the local area and minimize penile erection. Also, the above-mentioned use plan is ineffective. Is there obvious dripping blood, or is it just blood on the gauze? Post-surgery, you should rest for two days, sit and lie down more, and walk less. Wear loose pants. If you find postoperative infection, go to the hospital for a re-examination.
