Patient's question:
After the circumcision surgery, will eating sweet potatoes have any effect, or can I eat sweet potatoes?Doctor's answer:
After surgery, nutritional supplementation is very important for the patient. However, the patient must not eat spicy or irritating foods and should always pay attention to dietary hygiene to avoid wound inflammation. Sexual activity should be avoided for at least one month. It is also important to maintain a calm and restrained mindset, as erections may tear the wound, slowing down the healing process. Foods like fermented tofu, scallions, chili peppers, and chives can cause infections and hinder wound healing. Smoking, poor mood, and lack of confidence can also affect wound recovery.II. The patient can drink more tea made with lotus seed pods, as the fruits that grow in water are generally considered to have a heavy yin property, which can clear the mind, reduce fire, and lower the patient's excitement. The patient can also consume foods that promote wound healing, such as pig trotters, milk, honey, bitter melon, tomatoes, kelp, and oranges.
III. The patient can also use fresh toon leaves (250g), rinse and chop them, then mix with a small amount of salt to form a paste. Heat 500g of vegetable oil, add the paste, fry until golden, and then eat it. This has the effects of clearing heat, promoting diuresis, detoxifying, and reducing swelling.
