Do I need to remove the stitches after circumcision surgery?

For men with excessively long foreskin, circumcision is actually very important, because not only is it easy to cause the accumulation of smegma, making men susceptible to one disease or another and affecting their reproductive health, but it can also damage men's sexual function and make it impossible for men to show their virility during sex. For this reason, many men are troubled, so many men choose to have circumcision. So, do the stitches need to be removed after circumcision?

Nowadays, circumcision surgery usually uses catgut sutures, which do not need to be removed. They will be absorbed and decomposed after a week. If you need to remove the sutures, remember to apply red medicine and iodine water after the circumcision surgery, but you must apply the medicine under the guidance of a doctor.

There are several issues that need to be paid attention to after circumcision surgery:

1. It takes about 1-2 weeks to recover after circumcision. Generally speaking, it is not advisable to have sex too soon after circumcision to avoid poor healing. It is best to have sex 1-2 months later, when there is no pain after erection. If edema occurs, it may be caused by poor lymphatic return after circumcision. It is best to go to the hospital to check the cause before further treatment.

2. Wear loose underwear after the operation and it is best not to drink alcohol. In addition, if you always see bloodstains on the frenulum below the urethral opening one or two days after the stitches are removed after the circumcision operation (frenulum adhesion before the operation), the bloodstains on the frenulum below the urethral opening are because the original adhesions did not heal after the operation, and you must go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

It can be seen from this that whether the stitches need to be removed after circumcision surgery varies from person to person. Patients should follow the doctor's instructions and never delay the stitch removal time at will. At the same time, they also need to take good care of themselves after circumcision surgery. Only in this way can they achieve the best effect and avoid any adverse effects on themselves.
