How long does it take to recover after circumcision?

Patient's question:

The stitches from the circumcision surgery were removed on the 14th day. After that, there was swelling. Today is the 22nd day, and the swelling has almost subsided! It hasn't completely gone away yet. How much longer will it take to recover?

Doctor's answer:

You are currently 22 days post-foreskin surgery and have had your stitches removed, but you still cannot engage in sexual activity. Sexual activity should not be resumed until one month after the foreskin surgery, as premature sexual activity can easily lead to the foreskin reopening, skin tearing, and infection. Therefore, it is best to wait at least 10 days before resuming sexual activity. In addition to active treatment, patients with urological conditions should pay attention to maintaining deep sleep throughout their daily lives. Sufficient deep sleep is essential to help you recover quickly from the condition.
