Patient's question:
After circumcision, should I still use potassium permanganate after using Shangke Ling? Why does Shangke Ling always cause a stinging sensation every time I use it? Besides the fact that it has been 10 days since the surgery and the titanium pins are still wrapped inside the skin and penis with no signs of falling off, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
This situation doesn't require urgency, as it usually peels off on its own. Some may take over 20 days, so don't hurry. As long as the wound isn't infected, using spray medication can be harmful to the wound. It's recommended to use povidone-iodine for sterilization daily, or soak the wound in potassium permanganate solution for two to five minutes. Implement sterilization to resolve the issue. Always maintain cleanliness. Let the titanium nail fall off naturally; don't touch it. If possible, you can visit the surgical hospital for a check-up. For severe urological conditions, it's advised to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's guidance for treatment. Avoid changing medications at will, as this may have the opposite effect on the treatment outcome.
