Patient's question:
10 days after the circumcision surgery, the wound is still open. What should I do? The swelling has improved after receiving intravenous fluids. But today, the wound is bleeding, which wasn't the case yesterday. I also had an ejaculation last night. What should I do in this situation?Doctor's answer:
Your condition is due to negative reactions from an improper circumcision surgery. The peeling and swelling of the wound indicate that it has not healed properly and is accompanied by signs of infection. This situation requires immediate attention to avoid further complications in the future.It is best for you to visit a regular hospital's urology department for a thorough examination and treatment. If you are concerned about the cost, I recommend purchasing medical iodine, cotton swabs, sterile gauze, adhesive tape, and alcohol from a pharmacy. These items generally cost between 10-15 yuan.
Before changing the dressing, wash your hands thoroughly. Then, carefully remove the original re-bandaged sterile gauze. If there is any sticking, you can moisten it with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol before removing it. After that, use a cotton swab dipped in iodine.
