Patient's question:
It has been 6 days since the circumcision surgery. Do I need to take any medication or red light therapy? Should I change the gauze every day? When can I start using the gauze?Doctor's answer:
Circumcision surgery usually takes about 2 weeks to heal. You've only been 6 days, so you don't need to do red light therapy. This is a physical treatment, and IV fluids are also unnecessary. It's recommended to take oral levofloxacin. Generally, gauze should be re-bandaged for about 2 weeks. Prematurely removing the wound can easily lead to friction and re-occurrence of swelling. Usually, it's fine to change the gauze every 2-3 days.Actually, suffering from urological conditions isn't something to be afraid of. Patients should believe in their ability to overcome the illness. As long as the condition is detected early and treated promptly, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
