Pus discharge from the wound after circumcision surgery

Improper medical care after circumcision or poor sterilization during the operation can easily lead to inflammation and infection, which can lead to suppuration of the circumcision wound. The following will share with you the clinical solutions to wound suppuration after circumcision surgery, as well as related common problems:

Generally speaking, when a wound is suppurating and the fluid is not excessive, and there is no tissue necrosis in the wound, the wound can be cleaned with hydrogen peroxide or saline, and disinfected with iodine after cleaning, along with some oral antibiotics, such as levofloxacin, ornidazole, etc.

If suppuration at the wound site is severe and tissue necrosis occurs, this situation needs to be solved by surgical suture removal according to the situation. The tissue necrosis that occurs must be debrided immediately. After debridement, basic dressing changes such as iodophor disinfectant and sand strips should be continued for several days, and oral antibiotics should be used for treatment.； If the wound still shows no signs of growth after basic dressing change, use the edge-cutting method for dressing change treatment, and pay attention to observation and medical care during the dressing change period.

Friendly reminder

Wound suppuration is mostly due to the inability to effectively control the foreskin and inflammation of the glans penis before surgery. People with incarcerated phimosis mistakenly undergo circumcision surgery, do not pay attention to the principles of aseptic operation or the surgical operation is not smooth, and the urine contaminates the wound after surgery, which causes wound infection and suppuration. Therefore, when choosing surgical treatment, you must choose a regular hospital, and at the same time, persist in doing a good job in relevant medical care after the operation. The wound should be kept clean and dry after surgery, and be careful not to wet the gauze when urinating. Mild pain and bruising will occur in the wound after circumcision surgery. You should take regular medication to relieve the pain. It will be cured in about 7 to 10 days. The wound is sutured with digestible and absorbable sutures, so no surgical removal is required. Change underwear frequently, keep wounds clean and dry, and maintain a stable and positive mental state. Only in this way can you take care of yourself!
