How long does it take to recover from circumcision?

It usually takes a month to recover from circumcision. During the recovery process, men need to pay attention to the hygiene of the penis and avoid sexual intercourse. A reasonable diet and eating more protein-rich foods can promote wound healing. Circumcision is a minor operation. As long as men pay attention to the postoperative care methods, it generally has no effect on the penis function.

Men with long foreskin are prone to the formation of more smegma in the foreskin and glans coronal sulcus. This smegma is suitable for bacterial growth, so it often causes glans inflammation or balanitis. If there is sexual activity, it often causes gynecological inflammation in women.

Circumcision is a routine minor surgery in male medicine, so men do not need to be too nervous. The general operation steps are performed under local anesthesia. After the foreskin is removed, the inner and outer layers of the foreskin are sutured. The operation process takes about 20 to 30 minutes and does not require hospitalization. Generally, the operation is less risky and less likely to cause accidents.

The specific recovery time after surgery varies according to individual constitution. Most male patients can return to normal about 10 days after surgery. After surgery, you should pay attention to local hygiene care, change underwear frequently, and change the dressing regularly. During this period, you should avoid eating spicy and irritating foods. If there is obvious severe discomfort in the local area after circumcision, you need to see a doctor for a follow-up examination in time.

What are the symptoms of foreskin being too long?

1. When a man has foreskin that is too long, after urinating, the last few drops are always difficult to expel; and he will often suffer from foreskin inflammation.

2. Male foreskin is too long when the foreskin covers the entire or most of the glans penis and cannot be turned up to the coronal sulcus of the penis.

3. If the male's foreskin is too tight, you can use force to flip the foreskin to the coronal sulcus, but it cannot return to its original state naturally and requires external force to recover.

How to self-diagnose whether the foreskin is too long

What is called prepuce is too long? Prepuce is too long means that the foreskin covers the urethral opening, but can be turned up to expose the urethral opening and the glans penis. Prepuce is too long means that the glans penis cannot be fully exposed in the natural state, but it can be exposed by turning it up with hands during washing. If the glans penis cannot be exposed by turning it up with hands, it is phimosis. Phimosis means that the foreskin opening is narrow or the foreskin is adhered to the glans penis, so that the foreskin cannot be turned up to expose the urethral opening and the glans penis. Prepuce is too long and can cause premature ejaculation, which can be treated through progressive delay training.

The foreskin is too long and can be diagnosed through self-examination. Here is how to determine whether the foreskin is too long through self-examination:

1. The foreskin covers the glans penis or most of it.

2. The foreskin completely covers the glans penis and cannot be turned up to the coronal sulcus of the penis.

3. Although the foreskin can be turned up to expose the glans penis, the foreskin opening is very small and it is difficult to turn it up.

4. Those whose foreskin cannot be turned back to the coronal sulcus after the age of three.

5. The foreskin bulges like a ball during urination, making urination difficult.

6. The foreskin opening is tight. The foreskin can be turned back to the coronal sulcus by force, but it cannot return naturally and needs external force to return.

7. After urinating, the last few drops of urine are difficult to discharge.

8. Frequent foreskin inflammation.
