I just had a circumcision yesterday. When is it a good time to change the gauze?

Patient's question:

Yesterday I just had a circumcision. When is it a good time to remove the gauze? Do I need to use saline solution every day? I bought Cefuroxime Axetil tablets.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, after the early stage of circumcision surgery, it is important to change the dressing on time and apply antibiotics appropriately to prevent the occurrence of infection.
Advice: Generally, intravenous antibiotics can be used for 3 to 4 days. If there are no signs of infection, long-term antibiotic use should be avoided to prevent side effects. If there is swelling at the incision, daily heat therapy can be applied. If the incision is not infected, there is no need to change the dressing daily. If there is an infection, the dressing should be changed without time restrictions. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
