Patient's question:
Today, I just had a circumcision surgery. When can the gauze be changed? Can it be changed at the outpatient clinic or health station?Currently, there is swelling. Do I need to buy any medicine to take?
Doctor's answer:
Penile phimosis refers to a condition in which the penis's skin covers the glans, preventing it from being fully exposed. It can be categorized into true phimosis and false phimosis. True phimosis is when the glans cannot be fully exposed even when the penis is erect. False phimosis, on the other hand, is when the glans is not fully exposed in the flaccid state but can be fully exposed when the penis is erect. Circumcision refers to a condition where the foreskin completely covers the glans, with the glans never being exposed at any time.
