Patient's question:
Can I take a shower after the stitches are removed from a circumcision?Doctor's answer:
Circumcision surgery, as long as it is performed by an experienced urologist in a regular public hospital, is simple, safe, quick, and has a fast recovery. There is no need to worry. Generally, postoperative dressing changes are required once a day for the first 3 days, then every other day after 3 days. Around 10 days, (gauze) is no longer needed, and dressing changes cease. The stitches will naturally fall off in about 2 weeks. If they do not fall off, you can visit the surgeon to have them removed. After a month, you can resume sexual activity or masturbation. Therefore, there is no need to worry—relax. Only after the surgery will it truly benefit you in the long run. Additionally, it benefits the female partner by reducing the risk of infection.
