Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello, for conditions like phimosis and paraphimosis, surgery typically involves suture removal after 7 days (absorbable sutures can be used, eliminating the need for removal). After suture removal, the gauze can be removed.Advice: For phimosis and paraphimosis surgery, it is recommended to change the dressing every two days. Use povidone-iodine for disinfection and take amoxicillin-clavulanate potassium dispersible tablets orally to control infection. You can resume sexual activity after one month. Additionally, avoid spicy, hard foods, alcohol, and smoking. In your case, you can stop using the gauze the day after the sutures are fully absorbed. Avoid spicy, irritating, and greasy foods in your daily diet. I hope my answer is helpful to you.
