Patient's question:
My goodness, my uncle just finished a prostate surgery and was discharged from the hospital yesterday. He was fine while in the hospital, but after coming home, he had frequent skin breakdowns at the surgical site, and he doesn't know why.Hello, what should I do if the skin keeps breaking down after prostate surgery?
Doctor's answer:
According to your condition, there has been a significant increase in the peeling of the urethral opening after the prostate surgery. This may be due to the rupture of the wound on the neck after the surgery or the issue of peeling of small blood vessels. It is recommended that you consider going to the hospital for a check-up promptly, taking anti-inflammatory medication orally in a timely manner, and using topical medication in coordination to prevent excessive blood loss, which may lead to peripheral circulatory failure.
