My wound healed by secondary intention, and I was discharged 2 years after my circumcision.
I checked my medical records and it says because “scar remodelling” takes 2 years but I was not told this by my doctor.
What is scar remodelling?
Should I have been discharged earlier?
How long after your circumcision did you get discharged?
Some info on wound remodelling: woundsource.com/blog/phases...
You were presumably discharged as your treatment had ended
There’s something called “maturing of scar tissue” it is the different stages a scar goes through In a total there are 4 stages and it might take as long as 1-2 years before its completed.
Does this only happen to wounds healed by secondary intention? Or can it also occur to wounds healed by primary intention?
Ok. What do you mean by primary and secondary intension?
When you have a wound, the stitches bring the edges together and they bind. The scar is smaller. This is primary intention.
If the stitches break or if there are no stitches in the first place, the edges of the wound are not brought together. They do not bind together. So the wound heals from bottom to top, “filling up” the gap. There is a larger scar/ scar tissue.
Basically, primary intention is healing with stitches, and secondary intention is healing without stitches. Can scar remodelling occur in either case?
Scar remodelling is something that all scars undergo Regardless whether there’s stitches or not. Sometimes the skin is glued together instead of being stitched.
What I thought you meant was more if there was some kind of infection which would affect the healing process in a negative way.
I just wanted to be sure on what you posted. You spent 2 years in the hospital recovering?
