Patient's question:
It's been nine days now. The swelling on the glans has subsided, but the sutures have started to swell in a few places. Do I need to wait for the swelling to go down before removing the stitches? Currently, I'm changing the dressing every four or five days, waiting for the stitches to be removed... What should I do on the ninth day after the foreskin surgery?Doctor's answer:
Postoperative edema is a normal phenomenon. Currently, at the suture site, it is still recommended not to remove the stitches until the swelling subsides slightly. Otherwise, there is a concern that the wound may open. Rest, enhance nutrition, and prevent erections. The daily treatment for patients with urological diseases mainly focuses on symptomatic treatment. Patients can take some oral medications, supplement with vitamins, and pay attention to self-care, proper diet, and avoid cold foods.
