Patient's question:
Have you had a circumcision surgery and a pearl spot surgery? Do you need to change the dressing every day? How long can you take off the gauze? What should you do if the gauze wrapped area causes bruising?Doctor's answer:
The issue you described is that you have undergone circumcision surgery and a pearl spot removal surgery, and you need to know if you should change the dressing every day, how long to remove the gauze, and what to do about the bruising that has been successfully wrapped with gauze. For postoperative anti-inflammatory treatment, you need to change the dressing once a day for the first three days. After that, depending on the complete recovery, changing the dressing every 2-3 days is sufficient. If the gauze gets wet, you need to replace it with a new sterile gauze promptly. Generally, the stitches can be removed after seven days. Depending on your physical condition, complete recovery may take 2-3 weeks, or sometimes longer. Wear loose and comfortable underwear to prevent friction. Pay attention to proper care, quit smoking and drinking alcohol, and avoid spicy foods. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
