How long does it take to recover from circumcision?

Although every organ and every muscle of the human body is indispensable, there are still many things that need to be removed, and the foreskin is one of them. Especially for men with long foreskin, it will harbor more dirt and cause many diseases, which will not only affect themselves, but also their partners. If there is a problem, you should go to a regular hospital for treatment in time, don't be embarrassed, so how long does it take to recover from circumcision?

The foreskin covers the urethral opening, but can be turned up to expose the urethral opening and the glans penis. Generally, the mild adhesion between the glans penis and the foreskin of boys disappears on their own after the age of 3, and the foreskin can be turned up. However, the turned-up foreskin in childhood often covers the urethral opening, and the glans penis gradually becomes exposed during puberty. When the penis of an adult is flaccid, the foreskin does not cover the urethral opening, and the foreskin can be turned up to expose the coronal sulcus, which is the foreskin of normal length. Excessive foreskin can cause smegma to accumulate in the foreskin, causing balanitis. Repeated inflammation can cause the foreskin opening to shrink and adhere to the glans penis to form a phimosis. Penile cancer may be related to long-term stimulation by smegma.

Therefore, people with phimosis and prepuce that are too long should undergo surgical treatment as soon as possible. It is worth mentioning that although prepuce that is too long has little impact on health, it may sometimes form an incarcerated foreskin due to the narrow foreskin opening, that is, the foreskin is tightly tied to the coronal sulcus of the penis and cannot be pushed down. At this time, it should be manually restored as soon as possible. If manual restoration is not possible, the doctor should be asked to cut the tight foreskin opening and then perform circumcision.

"Laser circumcision" is currently the best treatment for prepuce and phimosis. This treatment is an outpatient treatment, does not require hospitalization, can be treated at home, and does not affect study and work. Laser circumcision takes a short time to treat, has little bleeding, does not leave scars, and is painless. It is the preferred treatment method for many younger patients.
