How long does it take for circumcision anesthesia to wear off?

Now more and more parents are beginning to pay attention to their children's physical development. Many adult men who have undergone surgery for their own foreskin are particularly concerned about the development of their children's reproductive organs. If they find that their children have foreskin that is too long in the early stage, they will take their children for surgery for treatment in time. Circumcision surgery requires injection of anesthetic drugs. How long does it take for the circumcision anesthetic to wear off? The anesthetic drugs injected during circumcision surgery are local anesthesia and will wear off after the surgery.

1. How long does it take to recover from circumcision?

According to the doctor, the stitches can be removed after a circumcision in normal circumstances, and full recovery will take about 20 days. Those who want to have a circumcision should be aware that adult men can only have sex after one month.

This time is only under normal circumstances. Because everyone's situation is different, the recovery time is also different. It is possible that if you have a little inflammation, it will take a longer time to recover. It also depends on your own care. People who take good care of themselves will definitely recover faster.

2. Wound Care after Circumcision Surgery

1. 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 surgery and still insist on working. Due to the poor local blood circulation, the affected area will directly swell, affecting the healing of the wound.

2. After circumcision surgery, it is better to wear looser clothes. Generally, after the operation, the doctor will put a gauze curtain on the perineum after dressing the wound, in order to reduce the friction of the wound.

3. It is normal for the wound to have mild edema 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.

4. 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 chelate cotton balls or isotonic 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.

5. 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, wet compresses can be applied with a wound-closing prescription, and some anti-inflammatory and swelling drugs can be taken orally at the same time.

3. Does circumcision hurt?

Prepuce is very harmful to male babies. It can induce balanitis, causing edema, congestion, erosion of the foreskin mucosa, repeated cross infection and even foreskin incarceration. Therefore, prepuce must be treated in time. The treatment of prepuce is generally based on circumcision. So is circumcision painful?

Circumcision is painless, because during the circumcision, the doctor will give appropriate anesthesia according to the baby's condition, so circumcision is painless. It is only after the operation, when the anesthetic effect wears off, there will be slight pain and bruising at the wound. So there is no need to worry about whether circumcision will hurt.

Currently, circumcision is a common minor surgery, but it has very strict requirements on the doctor's professional skills and the surgical environment. Some small hospitals and clinics use very low surgical fees to attract parents to circumcise their babies, but the surgical environment is poor and the surgery is not standardized;

Moreover, the quality of circumcision surgery cannot be guaranteed. It is easy to cause foreskin scars, even infection, or affect future nightlife, etc. Therefore, you must choose a regular specialist hospital for treatment.
