Patient's question:
On the third day after the circumcision and frenuloplasty surgery, the condition of the frenulum has not fully healed yet, with some swelling. However, due to work commitments, it is not possible to visit the hospital for care.Doctor's answer:
There are many methods for treating phimosis and paraphimosis. Traditional treatments include circumcision (removing the foreskin), while more popular modern methods include American, Korean, and Western European styles of circumcision. Another trendy option is laser circumcision surgery, which is bloodless, has a short operation time, and reduces the risk of infection. However, it has the drawback of causing some damage to the cells and tissues.Three days before the circumcision surgery, male patients should clean the penis area with warm water or a high-concentration potassium permanganate solution (1:5000). After the surgery, in addition to the medications mentioned above, it is important to prevent penile erection and bleeding, as well as inflammation. Additionally, attention should be paid to keeping the bandage and dressing dry. If it gets wet with urine, it should be replaced promptly. Typically, stitches are removed 5-7 days after the surgery.
