The health of reproductive organs is very important for men. Prepuce is very common in normal times, but it has a great impact on men's physical health and daily life.

How long does it take to recover after circumcision?

Generally speaking, after a man has undergone circumcision, the stitches can be removed within seven to ten days under normal circumstances, and full recovery will take about twenty days. Those who want to have a circumcision should be aware that adult men can only have sex after one month.

This time is only under normal circumstances. Because everyone's situation is different, the recovery time is also different. It is possible that if you have a little inflammation, it will take a longer time to recover. It also depends on your own care. People who take good care of themselves will definitely recover faster.

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.
