Patient's question:
I have a slow recovery after my circumcision surgery. The doctor here said that using erythromycin ointment can help speed up the healing process. I want to ask the doctor, is this okay? If it is, what is the best way to sterilize before applying the medicine? Is it effective to apply medicine on the penis?Doctor's answer:
Your condition can be treated with erythromycin ointment. It can be applied to the wound after disinfection with povidone-iodine. It is important to keep the wound dry at all times to prevent infection. After surgery, maintain a light diet, increase urination frequency, and change underwear frequently. In addition to timely treatment for male diseases, patients should always maintain a positive attitude to face the illness. Only in this way can patients receive timely and appropriate treatment. At the same time, pay close attention to dietary care and maintain a balanced nutrition to ensure timely digestion of nutrients.
