Patient's question:
I've had the circumcision surgery for about four or five days, and going to the hospital is too troublesome. As shown in the picture, can I soak and wash it with potassium permanganate? Besides the anti-inflammatory medicine, is it better to take oral medication or get an intravenous drip?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is not advisable to soak and wash with potassium permanganate. The main purpose is to change the dressing and anti-inflammatory effects, and of course, intravenous infusion is better. It is recommended to seek medical advice for treatment. Do not let the inconvenience affect the recovery after surgery, as improper self-treatment may lead to a recurrence of wound infection, which would be more troublesome. The intravenous infusion usually lasts for about 5 days. After surgery for 5 days, change the dressing every 2-3 days. However, it is important to keep the wound dry. If it gets wet, change the dressing immediately. In addition to treating male reproductive diseases, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood at all times to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
