Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I am a 17-year-old male. This morning, I had a circumcision surgery, and the doctor stitched the wound and re-bandaged it with gauze. There are two layers of gauze. The doctor said it's okay if the first layer turns red, and I should come back in two days. If the second layer turns red, I should go to the hospital tomorrow to change it. I might have met him before; he works until Friday.Then, I first saw my glans. When I urinated, it felt strange, as if it was loose and split a little. But when I pushed harder, the stream became straight. Later, I noticed that a little urine might have gotten into the gauze, and after several times, I always felt like there was a drop of residual urine near the glans. Today, I accidentally noticed a drop leaking near the gauze beside the glans. Should I go to the hospital tomorrow to change the bandage or wait until the day after tomorrow? The doctor said the condition of the broken skin on the bandage should be checked in two days. But I feel like urine has reached the bandage near the glans.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, after the circumcision surgery, as long as the newly wrapped gauze is not completely soaked, a single drop or two drops of urine is perfectly fine. Just follow the schedule for changing the dressing to resolve the issue. It is also essential to pay attention to a light diet and drink plenty of water.Facing male health issues, we should promptly implement the principle of symptomatic treatment. Do not hesitate to seek medical attention. If the male health condition does not improve after prolonged treatment, it is necessary to promptly switch to a new treatment plan. Thank you!
