Patient's question:
After the circumcision surgery, do I need to apply ointment after the stitches are removed? Do I need to take anti-inflammatory medication?Doctor's answer:
After the circumcision surgery, the wound will heal within one week. The mucous membrane of the glans has now been exposed to frequent friction and impact, and it has started to adapt. If the wound heals well without inflammation, medication or re-bandaging is not necessary. The glans of the penis should be positioned upwards, pointing towards the navel, and then the penis should be covered with tight-fitting underwear or shorts to apply pressure. This can help prevent swelling and reduce friction.Twice a day, in the morning and evening, clean the glans and sterilize it before applying a protective ointment, such as tetracycline ointment. It may not be necessary to wrap it in gauze. There are many treatments for male diseases, but since the symptoms of patients vary, the treatment methods used will also differ. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive targeted treatment.
