Hi, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. Medications which are prescribed to be taken following circumcision are due to the following reasons: 1. Diclofenac is an anti-inflammatory analgesic medication, which would relieve pain and helps to heal the wound well. 2. Cefopodoxime is an antibiotic, which needs to be taken as the course prescribed, and helps to prevent infection of the wound. 3. Lenora contains ethinylestradiol, which is a synthetic version of the female sex hormone estrogen. It would help suppress erection, as erection during the process of healing could hamper the process as well as it would be painful. Kindly take the medications and care of the wound as prescribed. Hope the information provided would be helpful. Wish you speedy recovery.
