Patient's question:
Hello everyone, I had my circumcision surgery on 12/9, and it has been three days now. The frenulum is a bit swollen, but there is no pain. I use povidone-iodine for anti-inflammation once a day and take amoxicillin capsules orally. I had an oval circumcision surgery. Do I need to have the stitches removed? How can I tell if there will be scars on the wound?Doctor's answer:
According to the description, the circumcision surgery performed was an European-style circumcision. There is no need to remove the stitches. Carefully observe the wound area for any signs of redness or swelling. Clean the wound daily with povidone-iodine and 0.9% saline solution for sterilization. Avoid wearing tight underwear and prolonged sitting. In addition, during the treatment of male genitourinary diseases, in addition to timely treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must always maintain a cheerful mood and eat a balanced diet to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery from male genitourinary diseases.
