Did you change the dressing after removing the gauze without any adhesion?

Patient's question:

I have been circumcised for ten days and I took off the gauze myself. There was no adhesion and it has already formed a scab. Can I stop changing the medicine?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, ten days after the circumcision surgery, the wound is generally not fully healed yet, and the scab has not fallen off. The wound still needs to be properly dressed and cared for. It is recommended to consult the surgeon for a thorough examination of the wound and to re-bandage it for a few more days to prevent it from reopening. Be careful not to get the wound wet and avoid strenuous exercise. The daily treatment for patients with urological diseases mainly focuses on symptomatic treatment. Patients can take many oral medications, supplemented by various vitamins, and pay attention to their diet, eating light, thin, and soft foods. We hope that urological patients can recover quickly! Thank you!
