Patient's question:
I had a circumcision surgery half a month ago. After that, I couldn't control my nocturnal erections, and the wound opened again and had to be stitched for the second time. Now it has opened again due to an erection. What should I do? I have been taking estradiol valerate tablets, and even taking four or five pills at a time doesn't help. I still get multiple erections at night. I don't want to get it stitched for the third time. Is there any effective prevention method?Doctor's answer:
Hello, you can use ice packs on the base of the penis and scrotum to reduce excitement, and the penis will naturally subside. It is important to avoid drinking water before going to bed at night, wear loose underwear, avoid sexual stimulation, and take ethinyl estradiol and cyproterone acetate tablets orally to reduce nocturnal erections and prevent wound cracking.Advice and Suggestions: After circumcision, as the perineum has a rich blood supply, it is generally not prone to infection. Therefore, taking some oral anti-inflammatory drugs postoperatively is sufficient. It is important to maintain local hygiene, keep the area clean and dry, and wear loose cotton underwear. The wound can heal after one month.
