How Can A Circumcision Wound Be Cured?
I had an adult circumscision on Tuesday to correct balanitis / phimosis. The dressing was removed when I showered the following day. Its obviously uncomfortable with the exposed penis rubbing against any clothing. I had an RRP in 1991 and have to use pads for mild income=ntinence so opted to Dougcatheterised after the circumscision. Now, there is an opaque sticky discharge from the wound which I can was away but I m concerned this is an onset of infection. Or is it to be expected? Many thanks

Hi,
But this is probably pus discharge due to a bacterial infection. Please refer to your doctor for a prescription of a systemic antibiotic along with a topical antibiotic cream applied three times daily.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
