Patient's question:
I have had my circumcision for 18 days now. The wound doesn't hurt anymore. However, the absorbable suture hasn't completely fallen off yet. Can I take a bath now? Besides the first 7 days, what should I do if the wound doesn't hurt anymore and the suture hasn't fallen off?Doctor's answer:
Generally, stitches can be removed half a month after a circumcision surgery. You can remove them yourself, you can take baths, and pay attention to local hygiene, keeping the area dry and breathable. Change your underwear frequently. Avoid contact with the area for the first two months after the surgery. In addition to seeking timely medical treatment for male genitourinary diseases, patients should always maintain a positive attitude to face the illness. Only in this way can they reduce the patient's immunity and the belief to fight the disease. At the same time, they should pay more attention to their own dietary care, primarily based on light food, and avoid stimulating and cold food, believing that this will definitely drive away male genitourinary diseases.
