Patient's question:
Dear doctors, I had a circumcision surgery 2 days ago, and now the doctor has asked me to change the dressing at the hospital every day. It will take about 10 days to remove the stitches. Also, I need to receive an anti-inflammatory drip before each dressing change. Is this the treatment process?Doctor's answer:
Actually, there's no need to be so complicated. But after the surgery, you should pay attention to the following:Post- circumcision surgery precautions:
1. Rest in bed for 3 to 4 days after the circumcision.
2. Wear loose underwear. Generally, after the wound is re-bandaged with sterile gauze, a gauze curtain is placed in the perineal area. The purpose is to increase friction on the glans penis.
3. Mild swelling of the glans penis is normal within 3 to 4 days after the circumcision.
4. Avoid getting urine on the sterile gauze when urinating. If it gets wet, change it as soon as possible.
