Patient's question:
Hello doctor: I had a circumcision surgery, and the wound on the side close to the testicles hasn't healed yet. It's been 15 days, and there's a layer of white stuff on the wound. There's also blood when changing the gauze. I'm very worried about whether it might be infected.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the description, it is not ruled out that local infection may cause white discharge. If there are also symptoms such as redness and swelling locally, it can be basically determined that the non-healing is caused by infection. In this case, it is recommended to provide timely dressing changes. During dressing changes, pay attention to sterile operations and thorough disinfection. If the infection is severe, anti-inflammatory drugs are generally required to assist in treatment.
