Patient's question:
How long after foreskin swelling can sexual intercourse be resumed?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Edema after circumcision is a relatively common symptom. Generally, the swelling will subside within 15 days. The complete recovery of the foreskin swelling varies among individuals, and it is best to wait until full recovery before resuming sexual activity. In your case, sexual activity is generally recommended after a thorough follow-up examination confirms good recovery and complete disappearance of swelling, which is usually around one month post-surgery. The foreskin can recover, but the treatment period is typically long, and there is a higher risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to use medications appropriately during treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet, avoid foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking beer. We hope male patients can recover as soon as possible!
