How many days after a foreskin surgery should the gauze be removed?
Generally, the gauze is removed around ten days after circumcision surgery. After the surgery, appropriate oral anti-inflammatory medication is sufficient. It is important to maintain a balanced diet, eat lightly, and reduce erections. Post-surgical care is crucial for recovery, and proper attention to various aspects of physical health can have a positive impact on the healing process. Within 3-4 days after the surgery, it is recommended to take sedatives such as Diazepam 2.5mg before bedtime to prevent wound tears, pain, or bleeding due to physiological reactions. If the wound shows signs of inflammation or infection and fails to heal over time, oral anti-inflammatory and anti-swelling medication may be prescribed. It is advisable to avoid spicy food, excessive alcohol consumption, and smoking during the wound healing period.
1. Keeping the wound clean is essential for men after circumcision. The surgical wound should be kept dry and clean. When urinating, it is important to be careful not to wet the gauze. Slight swelling and pain at the wound site are normal, and they should be taken seriously.
2. It is important to observe any bleeding from the wound. If bleeding occurs after circumcision, it is usually self-limiting if the amount is small. However, if the bleeding is excessive, it is advisable to seek prompt medical attention at a specialized urology hospital.
3. Mild swelling at the surgical site is common after circumcision, and patients should not be overly concerned. However, if there are signs of blisters, swelling, or bruising at the glans penis, it is necessary to seek medical attention.
