Can I drink alcohol 17 days after circumcision?

For patients with prepuce that is too long, if the foreskin is not removed in time, it is easy to cause male diseases and may also affect sexual life. Generally speaking, it may take 17 days for the wound to heal completely after a circumcision operation, but it usually takes a month for the edema to completely subside. Therefore, it is best not to drink alcohol or eat spicy food within 17 days after the foreskin is removed, as these are not conducive to physical recovery.

However, if the foreskin is too long, surgery is not necessarily required. The key is whether the foreskin opening can be turned up? After turning it up, will the foreskin opening get stuck on the glans penis when the penis is erect? Or if there is a foreskin (cannot be turned up, the urethral opening is needle-shaped, etc.), or if it is often inflamed, or there is irritation from the smegma, etc., these must be treated surgically.

The main surgical methods include traditional circumcision and modern cuff stapler circumcision. Some hospitals also offer "Korean cosmetic surgery".

Self-precautions after circumcision surgery play a significant role in surgical recovery, and the precautions after circumcision surgery cannot be ignored.

1. It is best to rest for 1-2 days after the operation. You can rest in bed, surf the Internet or read books, etc. Try to move less to prevent postoperative bleeding.

2. Try to avoid thinking about or touching pornography, obscene magazines, Internet pictures and videos after the operation. This is because contact with these things will cause the penis to become erect, which can easily cause postoperative bleeding.

4. Generally, the dressing should be changed every 3 days. After about 3 days, normal activities can be resumed without any major problems.

5. In addition to antibiotics, you can also take some drugs to prevent erection and relieve pain (such as Premarin, Somethicone, etc.) if necessary after the operation.

6. You may experience some discomfort in the glans penis after the operation, which is normal. Generally, this feeling will gradually disappear after about a week.
