How to care after a circumcision and phimosis surgery

Patient's question:

Post-surgery, on the day of the operation and yesterday, except today, I received intravenous drips and had dressings changed. The doctor didn't prescribe any medication. It was done at a private hospital, so the cost was relatively high. The surgery was successful, and except for not taking naps, everything else is normal. Now it's the third day, and there's some minor bleeding below. Will there be any problems? I want to know how long it usually takes for the wound to heal and form a scar?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, friend, according to the situation you described: After the circumcision surgery, in general, intravenous treatment is usually required for 3 to 5 days, with the medication changed every two days. In your current situation, you can go to a regular hospital to change the dressing, changing it every two days. Pay close attention to observing the wound condition. The wound area should not come into contact with water. If you are no longer receiving intravenous treatment, then oral antibiotics should be taken to avoid the occurrence of infection.
