How long does it take for a child to recover after circumcision?

Patient's question:

What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? How long does it take for a child to recover after circumcision?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be caused by phimosis, and you need to go to the hospital for a circumcision procedure. Post-surgery, sit baths and intravenous administration of a large amount of antibiotics are recommended. It is advisable to wear loose, breathable underwear and keep the glans penis upward to reduce swelling. Regular follow-up visits may be necessary if needed. In patients with urethral contusion without any signs of urine leakage, the urethra remains intact. After urethral contrast imaging, you can ask the patient to urinate. If urination is normal without bleeding or pain, no further treatment is required. If there is persistent bleeding, a catheter can be used for drainage.
