How long does it take to recover from circumcision surgery?

Circumcision is a surgical method that can treat many men with excessive foreskin. It is also a treatment method that can ensure that men can have normal reproductive organs and have normal sexual life. After the circumcision last night, patients need to go through a recovery period. So, how long does it take to recover from circumcision? The following will introduce relevant knowledge to you!

1. Recovery time after circumcision

Circumcision is the most common circumcision in clinical practice. It is suitable for patients with phimosis and recurrent infections of prepuce. The surgical methods include traditional circumcision, sleeve circumcision, minimally invasive circumcision or suture surgery. Many private hospitals exaggerate the effects of the surgery: painless and bleeding-free, and you can work normally after the surgery. Their real purpose is only one - to trick you into accepting the surgery, and then use various tricks until your wallet is emptied. Let's get back to the point. How long does it take to recover after circumcision? The incision after circumcision is easily affected by frequent erections after penile surgery. It usually takes about two weeks to heal completely. The newly healed incision cannot tolerate intense sexual intercourse. Therefore, masturbation, sexual intercourse and intense exercise should be avoided within one month after the operation to avoid tearing the incision. The skin edema around the incision, especially the edema of the inner plate of the foreskin near the coronal sulcus, is caused by the severance of the lymphatic vessels in the subcutaneous fascia layer, resulting in poor return of lymph fluid at the distal end of the penis. It usually takes one to two months for the swelling to disappear completely. Sexual stimulation during the period of edema can easily lead to aggravation of edema, but it does not affect the patient's sexual function. Therefore, recovery from circumcision can be completed in about a month.

2. Recovery time after occult penis orthopaedic surgery

Hidden penis is caused by abnormal development of the subcutaneous fascia layer of the penis, which constrains the penis and prevents it from being exposed on the surface of the body. It is common in obese children. True hidden penis is often combined with phimosis. If circumcision is performed only according to the phimosis, it can cause serious consequences. The edema period after hidden penis correction surgery is usually two to three months. It is recommended to apply pressure bandage for one to two weeks after the operation to allow the degloved penis skin and subcutaneous fascia to completely fit together before removing the pressure bandage, which can reduce postoperative edema to a certain extent. Therefore, hidden penis correction surgery can be recovered about two months after the operation.

3. Precautions after circumcision surgery

1. Keep it clean. Some patients may feel discomfort in the foreskin after the operation. Scratching should be prohibited. The foreskin should be wiped clean after urination and defecation to prevent local contamination.

2. If you have an erection, please protect the wound with one hand and pinch the glans with the other hand to let the pain subside naturally to avoid the wound from splitting. If the wound is swollen, painful and bleeding, you can apply cold compress to stop the bleeding. If the bleeding is severe, you should return to the hospital immediately for treatment.

3. The wound should be kept clean and dry after the operation. Do not wet the gauze when urinating. Most wound sutures are made with absorbable sutures, so in most cases, the sutures do not need to be removed. Some hospitals require suture removal according to the doctor's instructions.
