How long does it take to recover after circumcision surgery?

The health of male genitals is very important to every man. The genitals are directly related to men's physical health and future fertility, so it is very important to protect the health of the genitals. Phimosis is a common phenomenon. Phimosis is very harmful to men, so it requires timely surgical treatment. However, if phimosis undergoes surgery, how long will it take to return to normal? This is what men care about most.

How long does it take to recover after circumcision surgery?

Normally, it takes a month for men to recover after this surgery. If you want your reproductive organs to recover better, you must have regular follow-up visits after the surgery, and protect the wound during the recovery period. If the gauze wrapped gets wet, you must go to a professional place to replace it in time.

Generally, this type of surgery uses absorbable sutures, so there is no need to remove them. If you need to remove them, doctors will generally tell you in advance. Men may feel pain 10 days before the surgery, and some painkillers can help relieve it. If the penis is erect, try to protect the wound with your hands and let the penis slowly subside naturally.

And before recovery, men must not have any physiological reactions. And they cannot have sex. If they have sex at this time, it may cause great harm to men's future health and reproductive organs. It is best to have normal sex only after the surgery is completely recovered.

At what age should circumcision be performed?

Circumcision is generally performed at the age of 6. If a person has a normal foreskin before the age of 6, it is considered congenital phimosis, which is mainly caused by a foreskin opening that is too small. Normally, the foreskin can be wrapped and the foreskin opening can be gradually enlarged.

If the foreskin cannot be restored after the age of six and still cannot be covered, it needs to be removed surgically, otherwise it will affect the development of the penis and easily lead to repeated inflammation and infection, causing smegma such as glansitis.

In addition, if the child is under 6 years old, inflammation often occurs during normal treatment. If the treatment is ineffective, timely removal is required.
