Patient's question:
It's the seventh day after the surgery. The doctor said I can remove the gauze myself, so I did. Now, do I still need to apply any medication? There's no swelling on the glans. Can I use toilet paper to wipe the discharge from the glans? How can I properly protect the wound now that the gauze is removed? It's so hard without the gauze. Is it okay to remove the gauze after seven days of a foreskin surgery?Doctor's answer:
If you remove the gauze, and there is liquid oozing from the wound, it is recommended to go to the hospital to change the dressing. Do not handle it yourself to avoid infection and worsening the condition. If the wound is dry and has no stitches, you can apply some iodine appropriately. The patient should analyze and consider their specific situation. There are several treatment methods for urological diseases, but since the symptoms of the patients are different, the treatment methods used will also vary. Therefore, patients need to have timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to provide symptomatic treatment.
