Patient's question:
Does the circumcision surgery require hospitalization? Can medical insurance cover it in advance? What should be paid attention to after the surgery? How long does it take to recover? How long can sexual activity be resumed?Doctor's answer:
This surgery is generally simple and can be performed on an outpatient basis without requiring hospitalization. Medical insurance can be used for payment, but prepayment is not possible because there is no hospitalization. After the surgery, the wound usually heals within about a week, but this depends on the method used. If traditional excision and debridement is performed, the wound typically heals within a week. However, other methods, such as banding or titanium clips, may require the wound to heal on its own and could take more than two weeks to a month.For patients with phimosis or paraphimosis, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it can affect overall health. Therefore, patients should seek timely and appropriate treatment, and pay close attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
