Patient's question:
It has been 8 days since I had a circumcision, and I did semiconductor laser treatments for three consecutive days, with one session every other day. Then, because the cost was too high, I stopped going to the hospital starting from the sixth day. Now, it's been 8 days, and I used absorbable sutures. Do you still need to go to the hospital? I bought povidone-iodine and gauze and changed the dressing at home once.Doctor's answer:
After circumcision, the diet should be based on light foods and avoid foods. As long as there is no infection after the surgery, the wound generally heals within seven to ten days. However, it usually takes about two weeks for the wound to fully heal and tolerate external forces such as sexual activity. However, general physical activities will not pose any harm. After the treatment is completed, it is still best to wear loose and breathable underwear. At the same time, keep the glans penis upward to reduce swelling. If necessary, you can have regular check-ups to see if medication is needed. Please follow the doctor's guidance to make scientific arrangements. If you have any questions, you can consult the experts at Luoyang Renhe Hospital directly.
