Post circumcision help. Infection

Hi guys

Got the the surgery 1.5 weeks ago.

On Thursday I notices a lot of yellow discharge and high fever at night. Went to hospital on Friday evening, who advised Ive got a infection.

Started the antibiotics treatment but was wondering if anyone knew how long before it really works. There is some discharge today too. No fever tho.

Should I go to the docs again.

Hi Ks101

If the fever has gone and the discharge lessened I imagine that the antibiotic treatment is working - and quickly too. You went to hospital Friday evening which is only two days ago. Personally, and unless your condition begins to deteriorate, I would leave it for another week and see how you are then before troubling your GP again.

Thanks. Where it discharges it's best really painful

Ouch! Sounds very unpleasant. Is the discharge still lessening? Of course do go to your doctor is you are worried, but I think you need to give it a few more days or so for the antibiotic to do its job.

Apart from this problem, I hope all is well with you.

Not what you're looking for?
