Patient's question:
On October 25th, I had surgery. After that, for a week, I went to the hospital every day for red light therapy and IV drips. Now, the gauze has been removed, and the wound is almost healed. However, the stitches haven't fallen out yet. Moreover, there is some edema at the sutured area, slightly more at the ligation site. I want to know whether these conditions require medication or other treatments, or if it's better to let it heal naturally?Doctor's answer:
You described phimosis and paraphimosis, which can easily lead to infection. It is recommended to undergo a circumcision or laser treatment. After the surgery, use a small amount of potassium permanganate powder to mix with water for a sit bath. For adults, taking a small dose of estrogen can prevent penile erection and bleeding, as well as infection.
