Purulent wound after circumcision requires prompt medical treatment. It may be caused by bacterial infection, improper postoperative care and other factors. It is necessary to follow the doctor's instructions for debridement and disinfection, and topical or oral antibiotic treatment.

1. Medical evaluation

Wound suppuration is a manifestation of postoperative infection, and the degree of infection needs to be judged by a doctor. Mild suppuration may be accompanied by local redness, swelling and exudation, while severe infection may cause fever and severe pain. The doctor will choose physiological saline flushing, hydrogen peroxide solution disinfection and other treatments according to the situation, and if necessary, take the secretions for bacterial culture.

2. Antibiotic treatment

Antibiotics are required for bacterial infections, and topical mupirocin ointment or fusidic acid cream can be used for superficial infections. Deep infections require oral administration of cefaclor dispersible tablets, amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium tablets, etc. All medications must be strictly followed as prescribed by your doctor, and you are not allowed to increase or decrease the dosage or stop medication on your own.

3. Wound care

Disinfect the wound with iodophor solution every day and replace the sterile dressing to keep the perineum dry and clean. After urinating, wipe with a cotton swab dipped in saline to avoid contaminating the wound with urine. Wear loose cotton underwear to reduce friction and expose the wound while sleeping at night to promote dryness.

4. Taboos

During the period of suppuration, bathing, swimming and other immersing activities are prohibited, and waterproof dressings should be used to protect the wound when showering. Sexual life and strenuous exercise are prohibited within 1 month after surgery to avoid wound tearing. Do not pick the pustules or apply folk ointments on your own to prevent secondary infection.

5. Diet conditioning

During the recovery period, you need to supplement high-quality protein to promote tissue repair, and eat eggs, fish, milk, etc. in moderation. Eat more foods rich in vitamin C such as broccoli and kiwi fruit to enhance your immunity. Avoid spicy, alcoholic and seafood products, and drink more than 1500ml of water every day.

Wound healing should be observed daily after surgery. If the dressing continues to ooze, the pain worsens, or the fever exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, a follow-up visit must be made immediately. During the recovery period, avoid sitting for a long time and compressing the perineum. You can elevate the scrotum to reduce edema. Strictly follow the doctor's instructions for review. Usually, sutures need to be removed 7-10 days after surgery and the infection control effect is evaluated.
