How to care for a child after circumcision

Patient's question:

Last week, I went to the hospital to visit my nephew. He had a circumcision surgery last Tuesday. During our conversation, I asked his mother about his condition. She said that after the surgery, he didn't cry or fuss. He only felt a little pain when urinating right after the surgery, but otherwise, he was fine. He stayed in the hospital for a few days to receive intravenous fluids. Now, he takes some anti-inflammatory medication every day and is back to his usual energetic self.
What kind of help do you need:
How should a child be cared for after a circumcision? Do they need to take any medication?

Doctor's answer:

Therefore, hidden penis must be corrected within a certain age (3-5 years).
Survival care: If the child is not yet in the developmental stage, early use of hormones is beneficial for future growth and development, promoting the early onset of secondary sexual characteristics and early bone ossification. It will not affect future survival and fertility. Pay attention to the child's hygiene, frequently rinse with clean water, gently flip during cleaning, and dry thoroughly after cleaning.
I hope my explanation is helpful to you. After surgery, wear loose underwear and rest in bed for 3-4 days, avoiding prolonged standing or sitting.
