What should I do if the wound does not heal well after circumcision?

Patient's question:

After circumcision, there are bumps at the foreskin area

Doctor's answer:

Precautions after circumcision surgery:
1. There may be mild pain and swelling at the wound 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 during urination.
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.
