Patient's question:
I would like to ask what precautions to take after the stitches are removed from a circumcision surgery. The doctor didn't prescribe any medication for me. What should I pay attention to in terms of diet?How can I prevent infection after the stitches are removed from a circumcision surgery?
Doctor's answer:
After the circumcision surgery and the removal of stitches, what should be noted? Sexual activity is strictly prohibited for one month. This is mandatory because the connection between the foreskin and the glans is fragile in the short term, and prolonged erection may lead to tearing. Before the stitches are removed, take anti-inflammatory medication to prevent infection. After the stitches are removed, the wound has already healed, so there is no need to continue taking anti-inflammatory medication. You can eat a normal diet.Sexual diseases can cause great harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, pay close attention to self-care training, eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid foods.
