How many days after circumcision will the stitches be removed?

Many men have a problem with prepuce being too long. Although many cases of prepuce being too long are relatively mild and do not require treatment, there are still some patients with more serious prepuce being too long. They may suffer from repeated balanitis and their sexual ability and fertility may be affected by the prepuce being too long. Therefore, it is necessary for such patients to undergo circumcision and the stitches need to be removed after circumcision. So, how many days after circumcision should the stitches be removed?

Circumcision is generally used to remove the foreskin that is too long. Since the foreskin is too long, it is easy to accumulate smegma, which can easily lead to inflammatory infections, such as glansitis, balanitis and other diseases. It is also easy to affect the other party and cause gynecological inflammation during sexual intercourse. Generally, the stitches can be removed about 5-7 days after the circumcision. After the stitches are removed, you need to pay attention to hygiene care to avoid infection. You cannot have sexual intercourse within one month and you need to eat a light diet.

Advantages of circumcision:

Benefit 1. Reduce inflammation of the glans penis and foreskin: As we all know, when the foreskin is too long, the secretions of the sebaceous glands in the foreskin cannot be discharged in time, and the sebum and the sediment in the urine are combined into cheesy and smelly smegma, which is generally white and has a fishy smell. Smegma is suitable for bacterial growth, so it can cause inflammation of the glans penis and foreskin. Therefore, after circumcision, the production of smegma is reduced, thereby reducing the occurrence of other inflammations such as balanitis.

Benefit 2: It can prevent inflammation for sexual partners: When a man has a long foreskin, during sexual intercourse, he will inevitably bring various germs and smegma grown in the foreskin to the female cervix, which is equivalent to directly delivering harmful substances to the deep tissues of the female, which is the weakest defense point, and then stimulate the uterus and induce cervical cancer and other gynecological diseases. If the foreskin is circumcised, it is conceivable that the occurrence of gynecological diseases in the female is reduced.

Everyone knows how many days after circumcision the stitches should be removed. If a man has foreskin problems and it often causes illness, he must not avoid seeing a doctor and must rush to receive treatment. This is responsible for himself and his partner. After circumcision surgery, men must remove the stitches in time and pay attention to relevant postoperative care.
