Patient's question:
It has been more than twenty days since I had the circumcision surgery. I just had the stitches removed yesterday, but today I noticed that one stitch was left. Can I cut it off myself with small scissors or nail clippers?Doctor's answer:
I didn't use scissors that have been strictly sterilized, and directly using them to remove stitches might lead to infection. It's not recommended to do this for the sake of convenience or saving money, as there are infection risks involved. It's not worth it. I suggest you still go to the hospital to have your stitches removed. If the doctor didn't finish removing them for you, you can go back to him, and it usually doesn't require additional payment.In addition to taking medication to treat male reproductive system diseases, patients also need to pay attention to nursing care, such as maintaining a light diet and staying active outdoors. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a top-tier hospital for treatment to ensure a good therapeutic effect.
