Patient's question:
My son was born with phimosis, and I never paid much attention to it. Recently, I noticed some inflammation in the area, and when I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was an infection caused by phimosis and performed surgery. I want to know how to care for him at home after the surgery.What kind of help do I need: How should I care for my son after the phimosis surgery?
Doctor's answer:
After circumcision, pay attention to dietary adjustment and anti-inflammatory measures. Maintain local dryness and cleanliness at all times, and soak the glans penis in warm water with a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution daily. Rest in bed for the first week after surgery to avoid prolonged standing or sitting. When urinating, do not wet the sterile gauze; if it gets soaked, change it immediately to prevent residual urine from staying in the wound and causing infection. Wear loose, breathable pants and keep the glans penis upward to reduce swelling. You can go to the hospital for follow-up checks periodically. Wishing you good health!The above advice is for the question "How should one care for the wound after circumcision?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
