Can the bandage be used for medication instead of povidone iodine?

Patient's question:

I just had my foreskin circumcised at 21. Last night, I got the gauze wet while urinating, but it's very far from the hospital. I want to change it myself but don't know if I can use povidone-iodine for dressing changes. Then, I plan to tightly wrap the foreskin with gauze and change the dressing. I'm not sure if I can use povidone-iodine as medicine?

Doctor's answer:

Your situation can be disinfected with povidone-iodine yourself, there's no big issue with this, so you don't need to worry. For this type, you can change the dressing yourself. Pay attention to hygiene and keep it dry.
Eating more fruits and vegetables is beneficial for men's health patients. In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients should also maintain a good mood in daily life, as a positive attitude is very helpful for the complete recovery of the disease.
