How many days after circumcision surgery should the sutures be removed?

Phimosis is a problem that many men have nowadays. Some men do not take the phenomenon of phimosis seriously and think that there is no need for treatment. The fact is that phimosis can easily cause men to suffer from diseases, damage reproductive health, and affect fertility. Moreover, phimosis can have a great impact on men's sexual ability. If men want to get rid of the trouble, they need to undergo circumcision surgery. How many days after the circumcision surgery should the stitches be removed?

Generally, the stitches can be removed in one week. Please pay attention to the following after the operation:

1. After circumcision surgery, the penis may feel uncomfortable, which is a normal phenomenon. This phenomenon will generally disappear in about 7 days. It is best to rest for a few days after the operation. You can lie in bed to rest, or read a book. Try to walk less to prevent the wound from rupturing. Try to wear loose pants to avoid friction on the genitals.

2. Do not eat raw, cold or spicy food after the operation. Try to eat light food. Do not touch the genitals with your hands after the operation to avoid infection. The wound can heal completely in about 10 days after the operation.

3. Avoid kissing after the operation and stay away from women as much as possible to prevent the wound from being broken by the erect penis. Sexual intercourse can be resumed one month after the operation.

4. Do not read pornographic magazines or watch online videos after the operation. Penile erection will cause bleeding and pain, so stay away from these stimulating pornographic media after the operation.

5. After the operation, you must go to the hospital on time to change the dressing. If you accidentally get the gauze wet when going to the toilet, go to the hospital as soon as possible to clean the gauze to avoid infection.

The above introduces the time for removing stitches after circumcision surgery. After circumcision surgery, patients must do the relevant nursing work and remove the stitches according to the doctor's instructions. This can ensure the success of the operation and ultimately achieve the ideal surgical effect. It is a pity if the surgical effect is affected because the stitches are not removed on time.
