How long does it take to fully recover from circumcision?

Patient's question:

Usually, when I go back home from being away for training during the Chinese New Year, I noticed my son's foreskin a bit and thought about taking him for circumcision. But school is about to start. How long does it take for the foreskin to fully recover after circumcision?

Doctor's answer:

Usually, a wound should have healed with a scar after surgery. If it is still red, you need to go to the hospital for a check-up, but the scar must be present. Circumcision surgery not only requires anti-inflammatory medication but also local care. This penis will not erect. If it frequently becomes erect again, it is also easy to cause signs of skin breakdown or infection. After surgery, it is best to rest for 1-2 days. You can either lie down or do activities like researching or reading. Try to avoid exercise to prevent the skin from breaking after surgery.
