Patient's question:
I've had my circumcision surgery for a week now, and I used absorbable sutures. Yesterday, I removed the gauze myself. But there are still many suture threads left. Should I continue to cover the wound with gauze? Has the wound healed yet? Do I still need to use anti-inflammatory medicine every day?Doctor's answer:
After the circumcision surgery, it is common to experience pain, discomfort, and swelling at the wound. To avoid infection;the wound needs to be cleaned and disinfected. Taking some anti-inflammatory drugs can help prevent infection. The stitches will absorb in about 3 weeks.
