Patient's question:
After the surgery, I've been experiencing some pain. Due to discomfort, I only slept for 2 hours last night. This morning when I went to urinate, I noticed a large area of redness and swelling on part of my glans. Was it because I wet the front of the gauze yesterday while urinating? Could this be a serious issue? I'm very worried.I also have another question. The doctor gave me three medications: one is Cephalexin, another is a pain reliever, and the third one is something called Ethyl something (I couldn't read the last part clearly). Could you tell me what this medication is and what it's used for?
Follow-up question: But when I urinate, the front 1/3 of the gauze always gets wet.
Doctor's answer:
??????Post- circumcision surgery precautions1. The patient should reduce activities after surgery to minimize local edema, facilitating wound healing;2. To prevent penile erection, especially nocturnal erections, loose and oversized underwear can be worn, soft bedding can be used, and drugs such as ethinyl estradiol and diazepam can be taken orally. Generally, the effect of the medication is minimal, and the patient will naturally become flaccid after experiencing erection pain. Avoid strong sexual stimulation.
