Patient's question:
I had a circumcision with a stapler about 23 days ago, and the ring has been removed for 13 days now. The scab hasn't fallen off yet, and it keeps cracking when I get an erection, then it breaks open. After it cracks, there's also some discharge. What's going on? Is this normal after a circumcision surgery?Doctor's answer:
Within 2 months after circumcision surgery, there should be no erection, as it may cause the wound to crack and slow down the healing process. It is recommended to avoid erections until the wound is fully healed, which takes about 2 weeks. Pay attention to hygiene, use povidone-iodine for sterilization after urination. In addition to immediate medical treatment for urological conditions, patients should also maintain deep sleep in daily life. Sufficient deep sleep is essential to help you recover from the disease as quickly as possible.
