Patient's question:
It has been three days since the circumcision surgery, and it's time to change the gauze. There might be bleeding that has clotted, can it be soaked in warm water?Doctor's answer:
Hello, after a circumcision surgery, due to local leakage, the frenulum, foreskin, etc., may adhere to the wrapped gauze. If adhesion occurs, do not use force when removing the gauze to avoid bleeding, pain, etc. You can first soak the area with sterile physiological saline or warm potassium permanganate solution (1:5000), and then carefully remove the gauze for dressing change. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
