Patient's question:
I had my frenulum surgery two days ago and received fluids for two days. This morning when I looked, it was a bit swollen. I used hydrogen peroxide and povidone-iodine, but it's been leaking ever since. What's going on? Did you just have frenulum surgery and circumcision surgery?Doctor's answer:
Postoperative complete recovery with slight discharge is normal. It is recommended to change the dressing every 1-2 days. Once the wound heals and there is no discharge, you can stop changing the dressing. At the same time, pay attention to keeping the wound clean and dry. Be careful not to get the (gauze) wet when urinating. If there is an erection, use one hand to protect the wound and firmly squeeze the glans with the other hand to allow the penis to naturally subside, to prevent the wound from tearing open. Prepare several extra pairs of underwear and clothes, as tissue fluid may seep during the recovery period and stain the underwear. Avoid smoking, alcohol, and spicy or fatty foods, which can help you. In fact, suffering from a urological disease is not frightening. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of stabilizing the condition and accepting treatment are very high.
