How long does it take to fully recover from circumcision?

Men's health is also a very important issue, especially men's reproductive health. There are many men with phimosis, which requires circumcision. This operation is a minor operation and the recovery time is relatively short. Generally, the stitches can be removed about a week after the operation, and it can be restored to normal in about a month. However, after the circumcision operation, you must pay attention to the hygiene of your sexual life.

Generally speaking, after circumcision, the stitches can be removed in 7-10 days, recovery can be completed in about 20 days, and sexual intercourse can be resumed in about a month. However, the recovery time cannot be generalized and should be determined based on your own recovery situation.

After the operation, you should pay attention to the care of your body in all aspects, which will also have a certain effect on the recovery after the operation. It is better to rest in bed within one week after circumcision surgery, and avoid standing or sitting for a long time. Some young people are embarrassed to take leave after the operation and still insist on working. Due to the poor local blood circulation, the affected area is directly edematous, which affects the healing of the wound. It is better to wear looser clothes after circumcision surgery. Generally, after the operation, the doctor will place a gauze curtain on the perineum after bandaging the wound. The purpose is to reduce the friction of the wound. It is normal to have mild edema at the wound within 3 to 4 days after circumcision surgery. This is a body reaction caused by drugs and surgery. Note that the swelling is pink at this time. Do not wet the dressing when urinating. If it has been soaked with urine, it should be replaced as soon as possible. You can prepare 75% alcohol or 1:1000 chelate cotton balls or isotonic saline cotton balls, scrub the area around the urethra after urination, keep the wound dressing clean, or soak the glans penis in 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution in warm water every day.

Take sedatives such as diazepam 2.5 mg before going to bed within 3 to 4 days after the operation to prevent physiological reactions from tearing the wound, causing pain or bleeding. If the wound becomes inflamed and infected and cannot heal for a long time, you can apply wet compresses with the wound-closing formula and take some anti-inflammatory and swelling drugs orally at the same time. Do not eat spicy food, drink alcohol or smoke during the wound healing period.

It is best to rest for 1-2 days after the operation. You can rest in bed, surf the Internet or read books. Try to move as little as possible to prevent postoperative bleeding. Try to avoid thinking about or touching pornography, pornographic magazines, online pictures and videos after the operation. Because contact with these things causes the penis to become erect, it is easy to cause postoperative bleeding. After the operation, except for children who need to be hospitalized for a short period of time for safety considerations, most patients can still do their daily work and do not need to be hospitalized.

Patients in the early and adult stages of the operation will experience swelling, pain and bleeding at the wound due to penile erection after surgery. If the bleeding is minor, only local cold compress and pressure can stop the bleeding. If the bleeding is severe, the patient should return to the hospital for treatment immediately.

While routinely using cephalosporin antibiotics to prevent infection, Kangfuxin liquid is applied externally once a day, which has a significant effect. Patients can resume their sexual life one month after the operation.
