Patient's question:
Day 8 after circumcision. When I removed the gauze, there was yellow liquid at a spot on the incision. Is it pus? It hurts when the incision touches me. Has it not healed yet? Can I stop wrapping the gauze now? The suture thread for absorbable stitches is very hard, and it hurts when it gets touched. The place where pus is coming out is often where I bend over and press. Is it because of the pressure? The right side of the corpus cavernosum is slightly swollen and it hurts when touched.Doctor's answer:
Problem Analysis: Generally, after an 8-day circumcision surgery, local secretion is normal. You can pay attention to local hygiene, use povidone-iodine for disinfection, and apply anti-inflammatory medications for observation.Suggestion: It is recommended to avoid spicy and irritating foods, maintain a light diet, pay attention to local wound hygiene, use povidone-iodine for disinfection, apply anti-inflammatory ointment, and undergo cefixime antibiotic treatment for observation. As everyone knows, phimosis and paraphimosis can cause significant harm to men, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary issues and avoid consuming irritating foods. Maintain a balanced diet. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
