What are the dietary taboos after circumcision surgery?

Patient's question:

Since I just had a circumcision surgery, I eat whatever I want, but I heard that after the surgery, the diet must be restricted. So I would like to consult what are the dietary restrictions after a circumcision surgery?

Doctor's answer:

When undergoing a circumcision surgery, it is essential to pay attention to local hygiene to prevent local transmission and ensure timely urination to avoid recurrent urinary retention. Rest is also necessary. In addition to the postoperative discomfort that some patients may experience in the circumcision area, it is strictly forbidden to scratch it. After urination, pay attention to hygiene to prevent local contamination.
After a circumcision surgery, it is necessary to pay attention to dietary restrictions. The diet should be based on lightness, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, and consuming more fruits and vegetables. Foods that promote wound healing, such as pig trotters, milk, tomatoes, kelp, honey, bitter melon, and oranges, can be eaten in moderation.
