Patient's question:
The doctor scheduled me for a circumcision surgery and prescribed many medications, asking me to wait a week before the procedure. Because I haven't had time recently, is it definitely a week later? Can I postpone it?Doctor's answer:
The accumulation of smegma is considered to be caused by excessive foreskin. The doctor prescribes medication for anti-inflammatory treatment. Once the inflammation is completely resolved, the possibility of circumcision can be considered. If there isn't enough time at the moment, you can lift the foreskin daily and clean it a few times. Excessive foreskin can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow and prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment and use the medication appropriately.
