Patient's question:
I recently don't know what's going on, my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. How long after the circumcision surgery can the gauze be removed?Doctor's answer:
The stitches can only be removed 1-2 weeks after the surgery. After the operation, loose cotton underwear should be worn to reduce friction on the glans penis and maintain a clean and breathable perineum, which is beneficial for blood circulation and keeping it unobstructed. Keep it clean and dry. If the gauze gets wet with urine during urination, it should be replaced promptly. I believe everyone knows that phimosis and paraphimosis can cause significant harm to the patient, so it's important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues—avoid foods and maintain a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
