What care and precautions to be taken post circumcision?
Patient: Hi doc..I m a 20 year old male and I ve been circumcised this morning. I just wanna ask is it safe to sleep on your stomach or should I just sleep on my back?.. After reading and understanding the procedure to do after circumcision, is it okay to treat and clean your penis at home or should I just go everytime for check-ups at my nearest clinic or doctor? Doctor: DearWe understand your concernsI went through your details. Circumcision is a minor surgery. Still you need to adhere to the hygienic healthy procedure associated after surgery. For atleast aweek you should take precaution so that there should not be any infection. For cleaning and dressing, please approach a nursing home near you or go the same hospital.If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR.
