How long does it take to recover after circumcision?

1. After circumcision, most men need one to two weeks to recover. The patient's physical condition, recovery speed, and postoperative care have a great impact on the recovery time. Therefore, the recovery time after surgery cannot be generalized and depends on individual circumstances.

2. Before the wound heals after circumcision, the patient should be re-examined according to the doctor's instructions. The wound should be kept clean and dry, and more attention should be paid when urinating to avoid getting the gauze wet. If the wound is swollen, painful and bleeding after the operation, cold compresses can be used to relieve it. Underwear must be washed and changed frequently to effectively avoid infection. Masturbation and sexual intercourse must not be allowed during the recovery period after the operation.

What is Phimosis?

1. Congenital adhesion: The glans penis is completely covered by the foreskin, and the skin inside the foreskin is adhered to the glans penis. This situation has a great impact on the patient's future life and is very detrimental to sexual life. This is a very serious situation and must be treated surgically.

2. Phimosis: This type of foreskin can be turned up, but it is very difficult. Because the foreskin opening is very narrow, when it is turned up, the foreskin will be embedded in the head of the penis. This will cause men to experience very severe pain during erection.

3. Half-covered: Half of the patient's penis head can be exposed. When the patient is erect, there will be severe tearing pain because the foreskin opening is too narrow.

4. Full coverage: The foreskin of this type of phimosis will completely cover the patient's penis head. However, the foreskin can be turned up to expose the penis head, and the foreskin can also be restored to its original state.

Through the above, we know how long it takes to recover after circumcision. I hope it can help you. Normally, you will recover within one or two weeks after circumcision, but it also depends on your physical condition and postoperative care. So after circumcision, you should listen to the doctor's advice and keep the wound clean and dry so that it can heal quickly.
