What is the frequency of dressing changes after a circumcision?

Patient's question:

After the circumcision surgery, I have changed the medication three times so far. Starting tomorrow, can I stop changing it? But the doctor said it would be more expensive if I go every other day.

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Circumcision is a minor surgery. Generally, after the surgery, it is sufficient to use anti-inflammatory drugs intravenously and change the new gauze regularly. However, under normal circumstances, the cost does not need to be high. Therefore, you should still go to a regular hospital to have the surgery. The dressing needs to be changed once every other day. It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital to change the new gauze and rest more in bed. Additionally, avoid alcohol consumption and erections in the near future.
