What should I pay attention to during the one-month recovery period after circumcision surgery?

Circumcision is a surgery that many men will undergo. Generally speaking, it is not advisable to have sex too soon after the surgery to avoid poor healing. It is best to have sex 1-2 months later, when there is no pain after erection. Circumcision will change the appearance of the male penis and cause discomfort due to friction, which is generally normal. However, you may still experience edema one month after the surgery, which may be due to poor lymphatic drainage or the operation. The following will introduce the precautions within one month after the surgery.

1. Take sedatives such as diazepam 2.5 mg before going to bed within 3 to 4 days after the operation to prevent penile erection and cause pain or bleeding. Young people should pay more attention to it, because the nerve endings of the penis head, which has been covered for a long time, are very sensitive. Once exposed, it is easy to get an erection, so they should avoid reading erotic books and watching TV. Lovers should temporarily avoid hugging, kissing, etc. to avoid sexual stimulation.

2. The wound should be kept clean and dry after the operation. Be careful not to wet the gauze when urinating. Avoid standing, sitting or walking for a long time after circumcision. If you sit for a long time for entertainment, it will lead to poor blood circulation in the perineum, aggravate the swelling of the surgical incision, and affect the healing of the wound. Within one week after circumcision, try to avoid sexual stimulation and fantasy, and hold urine to avoid repeated erections of the penis that affect the healing of the wound or re-bleeding; avoid sexual intercourse within 30 days after the operation to prevent the incision from cracking or bleeding.

3. The recovery of male friends after circumcision surgery is related to the patient's physical condition and relevant postoperative conditioning. Generally speaking, it can be recovered in up to one month. If it is a circumcision, it generally will not delay the patient's work and study, and the surgery does not require hospitalization, which is very convenient for the patient.

4. Wear loose underwear. Generally, after the operation, the doctor will place a gauze curtain on the perineum after bandaging the wound to reduce the friction of the glans penis.

5. After circumcision, you should rest in bed for 3-4 days and avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time. Some young people are too embarrassed to ask for leave after surgery and still insist on working. Due to poor local blood circulation, the penis head swells directly, affecting the healing of the wound.

6. It is normal for the glans penis to be slightly edematous within 3 to 4 days after circumcision. This is a reaction of the body caused by the medication and surgery. Note that the swelling is pink at this time.

7. Do not wet the dressing during urination. If it is soaked by urine, it should be replaced as soon as possible. You can prepare 75% alcohol or 1:1000 new gentamicin cotton balls or isosmotic saline cotton balls, wipe the area around the urethra after urination, keep the wound dressing clean, or soak the head of the penis in 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution in warm water every day.

The above are some of the main things you need to pay attention to after this surgery. In fact, many people are very averse to this surgery, but it is just a way to make your body more relaxed. If other discomfort occurs and you don’t know how to deal with it, it is best to go to the hospital to check the cause before taking further action.
