Patient's question:
8.10 The surgery has been six days now. Today, I just got the gauze, and they didn't re-bandage it. Every day, I go to the hospital for semiconductor laser treatment, cleaning, and IV drips. I just wanted to ask—is this laser treatment necessary? It has been so many days, and the wound still hasn't shown any signs of improvement. Today, when I removed the gauze, there was a little. Is it contagious? Can I use povidone-iodine for sterilization at home and take amoxicillin orally for inflammation?Doctor's answer:
From the image, it appears that there is some edema and exudation at the incision site after circumcision, suggesting an inflammatory condition. It is recommended to change the dressing at intervals with appropriate medication, and re-bandage the incision afterward to prevent friction, industrial contamination, etc. Oral cefixime should be taken for anti-inflammatory treatment. Daily laser therapy is considered of little significance. Phimosis and paraphimosis can be stabilized, but the treatment period is generally long, and recurrence is common after treatment. Therefore, medication should be used symptomatically during treatment. Additionally, the patient should avoid prolonged sitting or riding and pay close attention to personal hygiene.
