Medical Description: 17 days post-surgery. Condition: Apart from some redness and swelling at the urethral meatus and the frenulum area, the healing condition is still relatively good. Previous Treatment and Effects: Ceftriaxone for injection, 0.5g x 12 vials (3-day supply); Jia'an Shuneng, 30ml traditional Chinese medicine (3-day supply). Medication was discontinued after the supply ran out, and only gauze was changed every 3 days, with Jia'an Shuneng sprayed. Desired Help: Questions: 1. The absorbable suture has not fallen out yet. Can I take a bath? Is there any solvent that can accelerate the absorption of the suture? 2. Still unable to remove the gauze wrapping; the incision site is not exposed.Doctor's answer:
