Festering wound after circumcision surgery

If the medical care after circumcision is poor or the disinfection work during the operation is not done well, it is easy to cause inflammation, which will lead to the occurrence of circumcision wound suppuration. The following is a clinical medical solution to post-circumcision wound suppuration and related common problems:

Generally speaking, for wound purulent, if the concentration of the fluid is not too much and there is no tissue necrosis, the wound can be cleaned with hydrogen peroxide or saline, and then disinfected with iodine tincture. In addition, some antibiotics can be taken orally, such as levofloxacin, ornidazole, etc.

If the wound is severely festering and tissue necrosis occurs, this situation needs to be treated with surgical suture removal as appropriate. Tissue necrosis should be cleaned in time, and basic dressings such as iodine-containing disinfectant and sand strips should be continued for several days after debridement, combined with oral antibiotic treatment. If the wound still shows no signs of growth after basic dressing, the wound should be treated with a closing dressing prescription, and attention should be paid to observation and medical care during the dressing period.

Friendly Tips

Wound suppuration is mostly caused by the inability to effectively control the prepuce and inflammation of the glans penis before the operation, the mistaken circumcision of the incarcerated foreskin, the failure to pay attention to the aseptic operation principle or the actual operation of the surgical treatment is not smooth, and the urine environment after the operation contaminates the wound, etc., which leads to wound infection and suppuration. Therefore, when choosing surgical treatment, you must choose a regular hospital, and at the same time, you must persist in doing relevant medical care after the operation. The wound should be kept clean and dry after the operation, and be careful not to wet the gauze when urinating. The wound will have mild pain and bruising after the foreskin surgery. Painkillers should be taken regularly, and it will heal in about 7 to 10 days. The wound sutures are made of absorbable sutures, so there is no need to remove the sutures during surgery. Change your underwear frequently, keep the wound clean and dry, and maintain a stable and positive mental state, so that you can take care of your body!
