Circumcision is a common treatment method in clinical medicine today. Its main purpose is to treat diseases such as prepuce hyperplasia. Many men do not know how many days it will take to recover after circumcision. In fact, after circumcision, it usually takes about 20 days to recover.

1. How long does it take to recover after circumcision surgery?

Generally speaking, after circumcision, the stitches can be removed in 7-10 days, recovery can be achieved in about 20 days, and sexual life can be resumed in about a month. However, the recovery time cannot be generalized and should be determined based on one's own recovery situation. After the operation, you should pay attention to the care of your body in all aspects, which will also have a certain effect on the recovery after the operation.

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.

6. Do not eat spicy food, drink alcohol or smoke during the wound healing period.

3. Treatment of non-healing wound after circumcision surgery

First, pay attention to check the patient's wound, check whether there is any foreign body in the wound, check the color of the wound, whether there is exudate or pus in the wound, confirm the patient's wound inflammation, and take relevant treatment methods.

If there is foreign matter in the patient's wound, you can use physiological saline to clean the wound, and then apply iodine to disinfect and sterilize it. You can also soak it in potassium permanganate 1:5000 twice a day.

If the wound only shows symptoms of redness and swelling, there may be exudate flowing out. In clinical practice, the wound is usually cleaned with normal saline and then coated with iodine for anti-inflammatory treatment. At the same time, the patient is asked to take some anti-inflammatory drugs orally.

If the wound of the patient is affected by wound abscess, the first thing to do is to clean the wound, clean the pus in time, and insist on changing the dressing with iodine sand strips after cleaning, and take oral anti-inflammatory drugs. If the wound inflammation leads to tissue necrosis, it is also necessary to use the wound to clean the wound necrosis tissue, and then cooperate with the dressing treatment of drugs such as Yu?'s wound healing prescription.
