The recovery time of circumcision tissue may vary according to different surgical methods. For example, in the case of circumcision, there is basically no wound after the incision. This kind of wound only has a ligature. In this case, the patient may be able to take a shower in three days; if it is other surgical methods, such as traditional cutting, it will take at least a week to heal after the cutting; the wound of stapler surgery is relatively simple, and the skin nails are matched with the skin. In this case, scabs may form in two or three days, and the nails may fall off in one or two weeks. Although the nails have not fallen off, as long as there is no bleeding or bleeding, it can generally be washed after three days, but the local area needs to reduce some collisions, stimulation, and friction.

Circumcision is just a minor outpatient surgery. It usually takes 7-10 days for the wound to heal completely, so you cannot take a shower within 7-10 days. And you need to go to the urology department of the hospital to change the gauze dressing every 1-2 days. After 7-10 days, you can take a shower when the wound is completely healed. After taking a shower, you should use a hair dryer to dry the local wound. It is best to apply anti-infection ointment, such as erythromycin ointment or fusidic acid ointment, which can effectively prevent local incision infection.

Within one month, you cannot have sex after circumcision. You must wait one month before you can resume normal sex. In your daily diet, avoid spicy food, alcohol and seafood within one week to promote the healing of the local wound.
