Does the circumcision surgery require removing the gauze?

Patient's question:

The circumcision surgery was performed last Tuesday. On Friday, I had a dressing change. The doctor asked me to remove the bandage myself today. When I removed the bandage today, I noticed some blood clots on it, and there was a small area of redness and swelling at the edge of the glans. Is this a normal postoperative reaction? Do I need to be careful when applying the bandage?

Doctor's answer:

After surgery, there may be normal skin peeling. This helps prevent penile erection, which could cause skin peeling or hematoma! Pay attention to a light diet and avoid spicy and stimulating foods. Avoid strenuous exercise. Regular follow-up and dressing changes are required! In addition to treating male urological conditions, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
