What to pay attention to after a circumcision done yesterday

Patient's question:

Yesterday I just had a circumcision. When is it a good time to remove the gauze? Do I need to use saline every day? I bought Cefuroxime Axetil tablets.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, after circumcision surgery, it is important to change the dressing on time in the early stage and apply antibiotics appropriately to prevent the occurrence of infection.
Advice: Generally, intravenous antibiotics can be used for 3 to 4 days. If there are no signs of infection, long-term antibiotic use should be avoided to prevent side effects. If there is swelling at the incision, daily heat therapy can be applied. If the incision is not infected, dressing changes are not necessary every day. If there is an infection, dressing changes are not limited by time. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
