Hello, I was diagnosed with bacterial infection inside the tissue of scrotum. Shown to a urologist who prescribed antibiotic for 2 days by infection was not subsided and doctor admitted me and surgically removed abscess from scrotum. But no stitches were put to drain put puss and dress it. 3 days this cleaning was done and 4th day discharged. As there was healing and only dressing was done for 2 days. Since it has to be fully healed doctor advised me to sit it saline salt water for 15 minutes 2 times for some days. I was on antibiotic for 7 days. After that doctor seen it and advised me that it's healing slowly and it may take some time to heal completely. After 15 days of operation also I am having slight pain and discomfort there. Wound still looks reddish. Pain also there on movements. I am still doing siting in saline water and cotton pad to cover it.. My normal activities are affected. No antibiotic or dressing with medicine. I need an advice from a surgeon in regard to open surgical healing and time period for full healing. I am not a diabetic. I am under stress because of this. Kindly give me an advice on this process and things to be followed by me.

Hello sir, generally for wound healing it takes 21 days to 45 days depending upon the region affected. As wound is at scrotal region it will be slower to heal and along with that age factor is also contribute as your age is about 69, at this age all the process of our body will be slower due to ageing process of cells and tissues. So don't worry and anxious it will be fine. Do walking for few minutes have more fruits and greet leafy vegetables which helps in wound healing.
