Patient's question:
I had my circumcision surgery 20 days ago, and the stitches have been out for two full weeks. However, the wound is healing slowly. I want to ask the doctor if there’s any way to speed up the complete recovery of the wound. Besides, I’m supposed to meet my girlfriend next week and want to resume sexual activity. I’m willing to take medication or apply ointment. Please, doctor, suggest a method! What are the symptoms of rapid healing for a circumcision?Doctor's answer:
20 years old, male, 20 days post-circumcision, wondering how to speed up wound healing. Consume more foods rich in vitamin C, moderately increase protein intake, reduce physical activity to prevent irritation, and avoid erections to promote wound scarring. If the scarring is normal, medication may not be very effective, and it is recommended to avoid sexual activity for the first month post-surgery to prevent wound tearing. In addition to treating urological conditions, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance physical health and slow down the healing process.
