How long does the suture absorb after a circumcision?

Patient's question:

A while ago, I had a circumcision and now, besides the surgical suture inside, I want to know how long it takes for the circumcision suture to dissolve?

Doctor's answer:

If a patient has undergone circumcision, if it is treatable, it can generally be healed within about three weeks. After the surgery, the patient should primarily focus on infection prevention and can take estrogen to suppress erections. The wound should always be kept clean and hygienic. It is important to pay attention to regular drinking and avoid excessive consumption of spicy and irritating foods. Drink plenty of water and prevent catching a cold. If the condition is severe, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to confirm the cause and receive treatment. Surgery may be necessary if needed.
