Patient's question:
I've had my circumcision surgery for almost a month now. There are a few places where the stitches haven't fallen off, and in one place, I pulled the thread out. It's a bit swollen, but is there any problem?Doctor's answer:
Circumcision is an outpatient surgery. After the circumcision surgery, it is necessary to remove the stitches according to the specific situation, generally around 7-10 days. The patient needs to rest for a period of time. After the surgery, it is absolutely not advisable to engage in training, as it may cause local friction and irritation. Of course, this is not a major surgery, but it does cause some pain. As everyone knows, the penis naturally becomes erect at night. After the surgery, if the penis becomes erect at night, it may stretch the wound significantly, causing pain. However, overall, the surgery is minor, and the issue is not severe. After circumcision, infection may occur, requiring the use of antibiotics. It is recommended to return to the hospital for follow-up.
