Patient's question:
It has been 20 days since my circumcision surgery, and the wound on top hasn't healed yet, while the wound below is almost healed. Is it an infection? What should I do? Do I need to go to the hospital for debridement?Doctor's answer:
According to your description and observation, 20 days after surgery, the wound is in a normal state. Such a wound requires approximately 4 weeks to heal. Pay attention to local hygiene, use povidone-iodine for sterilization, and apply topical medication ointment or, twice a day! Pay attention to a proper diet, avoid alcohol, spicy and irritating foods, and seafood! If necessary, go to the hospital for a check-up! For severe male urological conditions, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment and avoid blindly relying on advertisements or over-the-counter medications, as this may worsen the condition. The above suggestions are for reference only. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you.
