Patient's question:
It has been 12 days since the circumcision surgery, and the wound area is not dry, always sticking to the skin.Doctor's answer:
Hello, Post- circumcision surgery precautions:1. The wound may have mild pain and bruising after surgery. Painkillers should be taken regularly, and the wound will heal within 7–10 days.
2. Regular follow-up visits should be scheduled before the wound heals.
3. The wound should be kept clean and dry after surgery. Be careful not to get the gauze wet when urinating.
4. Most wounds are sutured with absorbable stitches, so they usually do not require removal. However, some hospitals may require stitches to be removed according to medical advice.
5. If an erection occurs, use one hand to protect the wound and firmly press the glans with the other hand to allow the penis to naturally subside, avoiding the wound from tearing open.
