When will the stitches be removed after a circumcision surgery after one week?

Patient's question:

After the circumcision surgery for a week, I took off the gauze yesterday and noticed only a few black lines. If I don't focus on tying the gauze, will those black lines gradually disappear?

Doctor's answer:

Under normal circumstances, about 7-10 days after a circumcision surgery, the wound will heal, and the stitches can be removed. If the wound is self-healing, there is no need for stitches to be removed. Postoperative care should be well-prepared, such as paying attention to hygiene, avoiding strenuous exercise, preventing excessive sexual stimulation, quitting smoking and drinking, and wearing loose clothing. In addition to promptly treating urological conditions, patients also need to pay attention to their diet, such as eating a balanced diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a reputable hospital for treatment to achieve good therapeutic effects.
