Patient's question:
Hello, I want to know what the white substance is under the wound after circumcision. It's wet during the day but very dry at night. The doctor said it's normal, calling it fibrous material. Will the wound get inflamed? Is there any medicine I can apply?Doctor's answer:
This could be a symptom caused by infection and inflammation after surgery. It is recommended to pay attention to maintaining local hygiene of the wound, taking oral anti-inflammatory drugs, or receiving intravenous antibiotics. The wound should be disinfected using alcohol and povidone-iodine. It is important to wear loose clothing and carefully monitor the situation. If it does not improve, it is necessary to visit the hospital for further examination to avoid affecting the complete healing of the wound. The foreskin can recover, but the treatment period is usually long, and it is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is essential to actively cooperate with the doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, patients should avoid sitting or riding for long periods and pay close attention to personal hygiene. We hope that male patients can recover quickly!
