Patient's question:
How long after foreskin edema 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 typically around one month post-surgery. The foreskin can be stabilized, but the treatment process is usually lengthy, and there is a higher risk of recurrence after treatment. Therefore, it is crucial to actively cooperate with your doctor's medication plan during treatment. Additionally, it is advisable to maintain a healthy lifestyle and follow a balanced diet during the treatment period. We hope that male patients can recover as soon as possible!
