Patient's question:
How often should the dressing be changed after circumcision? When can I take a shower? Why do the stitches fall off by themselves?Thank you, doctor!!!
Doctor's answer:
The frequency of dressing changes after circumcision mainly depends on the situation. If there is bleeding or excessive discharge, the dressing should be changed as needed. Generally, it is changed every 2 days post-surgery. If it is exposed, just ensure regular cleaning, especially after bowel movements. The dressing is changed once on the second day after surgery. For exposed cases, pay attention to cleaning and regular disinfection, especially after bowel movements. It is recommended to have the dressing changed and treated at a regular hospital. During treatment, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and do not get the area wet to prevent infection.
