Patient's question:
Often have to go to work and don't have time to take care of the child. When I came back yesterday, I noticed that the child's foreskin was a bit long. I wanted to take him for a circumcision, but it's almost time for school. How long does it take to fully recover after a circumcision?Doctor's answer:
Circumcision surgery plus postoperative full recovery generally takes about one month. In the first one to two weeks after surgery, timely dressing changes and intravenous fluid therapy are necessary to prevent infection. During dressing changes, carefully observe the wound healing condition. Generally, better recovery without redness, swelling, and exudation is ideal. The diet should be light and avoid spicy foods. Urination should be avoided to wet sterile gauze; if necessary, replace new sterile gauze to prevent interference with full wound recovery. It is better to rest for 1-2 days postoperatively, with bed rest. You can check information or read books during this time.
