Patient's question:
After 14 days of circumcision, there was water under the frenulum when I got up in the morning, but it didn't break. At noon, during sterilization, I noticed blood at the frenulum incision. What should I do, doctor?Doctor's answer:
The photo is not very clear. After circumcision, if this situation reoccurs, it is important to prevent transmission. You can use povidone-iodine for sterilization. Generally, mild edema usually subsides on its own without special treatment. However, for safety, it is better to go to the surgical department of the hospital for a follow-up examination and re-examination. Depending on the condition, debridement, sterilization, and treatment will be performed, followed by re-bandaging. It is recommended to take cefalexin orally to prevent the situation from recurring. Additionally, applying cold compresses with magnesium sulfate locally can help reduce swelling.
