How long after circumcision surgery can I remove the stitches?

Phimosis refers to the foreskin being too long and narrow, and the glans penis cannot be turned up to expose the glans penis. The slight epithelial cell adhesion between the inner plate of the foreskin and the surface of the glans penis is absorbed, and the foreskin is too long and the glans penis is exposed. If the adhesion is not absorbed, congenital phimosis occurs. Acquired phimosis is mostly secondary to phimosis of the glans penis, causing scarring muscle atrophy at the foreskin. Let's see how long it will take to remove the stitches after circumcision surgery?

Some stitches are self-dissolving and do not need to be removed, but it takes a long time. If you need to remove them, it usually takes 10 days to two weeks. Of course, it also depends on whether you have torn the wound due to morning erections, that is, to see the repair status. Generally, it is a bit uncomfortable after the stitches are removed.

After circumcision surgery, you usually need to go to the hospital clinic to change the dressing once every 2 to 3 days. During the whole process of changing the dressing, the doctor will observe the healing of the wound. If the healing is satisfactory, the gauze can be removed in about 7 days. If the healing is not satisfactory, you need to follow the doctor's advice to remove the gauze at the appropriate time. If it is satisfactory, the gauze can be removed, but it is best not to remove it by yourself. Go to the original hospital clinic for surgical treatment to remove the gauze. In fact, absorbable sutures can also be removed surgically. It takes more than a month for the absorbable sutures to fall off completely. It is very uncomfortable to wear and prolongs the time of penile edema. If the wound heals well, it is not necessary to wait until a month to remove the sutures.

In addition, there are abundant sebaceous glands in the prepuce, which can metabolize a large number of sebaceous glands. When the prepuce is too long or too long, the secretions of the sebaceous glands in the prepuce cannot be discharged, and the deposits in the sebaceous glands and urine form cheese-like and smelly urine scale. Urine scale is suitable for the growth of bacteria, so it can cause infection of the glans penis and foreskin. Pathogens can also cause urinary tract infection through the urethral opening. Inflammation at the urethral opening can cause urethral opening stenosis after recovery, leading to urination problems.
