Patient's question:
After the circumcision, there was bleeding at the wound site on the second day. Do I need to change the dressing myself?Doctor's answer:
1. After surgery, the diet should be light and simple, avoiding spicy foods. It is recommended to eat more fruits and vegetables, and you can consume foods that promote wound healing such as pig trotters, milk, tomatoes, kelp, honey, bitter melon, oranges, etc.2. Seafood and cold, raw, spicy foods should be avoided or reduced after surgery. Animal livers should be fully cooked and not served cold. Alcohol should also be avoided. These are important points to note.
3. You can drink tea made with lotus seed pods. Fruits that grow in water are generally considered to have a heavy yin quality, which can help clear heat, calm the mind, and reduce sexual excitement, temporarily lowering desires. As long as you avoid wound tearing, infection, and contact with water, you can focus on consuming high-protein, high-nutrient foods rich in vitamin C to aid wound healing.
