Patient's question:
It has been three days since my circumcision surgery. I need to change the gauze. The wound is bleeding, and it might be stuck. Can I soak it in warm water?Doctor's answer:
Hello, after a circumcision surgery, due to local leakage, the frenulum, foreskin, and other parts may adhere to the wrapped gauze. If adhesion occurs, do not use force when removing the gauze to avoid bleeding, pain, etc. You can first soak the gauze with sterile physiological saline or warm potassium permanganate solution (1:5000), and then carefully remove the gauze for dressing change. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
