Patient's question:
I finished my circumcision surgery and the stitches haven't fallen off. I pulled the stitches myself, and now the wound has opened. What should I do? It has been more than 20 days since the surgery.Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, after 20 days of having a circumcision surgery, the stitches did not fall off, and you removed them yourself, resulting in the wound reopening. In this situation, it is not advisable to remove the stitches at home, as it may lead to re-infection or re-opening of the wound. Since the wound has already reopened, it is recommended to visit the surgical department of the hospital for follow-up treatment. Based on the examination results, further treatment will be provided.In addition to treating urological conditions, it is advised that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and speed up the recovery process.
