Patient's question:
My foreskin has always felt too long since I was a child. When I was young, I didn't understand, but now that I'm older, I heard from others that an overly long foreskin is not good for various aspects. So, I went to the hospital to have a circumcision surgery. However, after the circumcision surgery, I feel some swelling in my penis and it hurts a lot. What should I do? How many days does it take to fully recover?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if recovery is thorough and good after surgery, sexual activity can be fully resumed about a month postoperatively.1. It is best to rest for 1-2 days after surgery. You can lie down and rest, and you can read materials or books. Try to minimize walking to avoid postoperative bleeding from exercise.
2. After surgery, try to avoid thinking about or touching pornographic or obscene magazines, online images, and videos. Because touching these things can cause the penis to become erect, which may easily lead to postoperative bleeding.
3. In terms of diet, try to eat light foods and avoid spicy or highly stimulating foods.
