Patient's question:
I have finished my circumcision surgery and had the stitches removed. The doctor said to come back and soak in potassium permanganate. But wasn't it said that it cannot get wet? How can I soak it? I want to understand how to clean after a circumcision surgery.Doctor's answer:
From your situation, "cannot soak with water" refers to ordinary water, as it may lead to infection. Potassium permanganate dissolved in water has a strong oxidizing effect, which can kill infectious agents in wounds and is commonly used in clinical diagnosis for skin wound sterilization. Men's health patients can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment while understanding symptomatic treatment, and should strictly avoid excessive hunger or fullness in daily diet, never overeating or binge drinking.
