What are the general precautions to take after a circumcision?

Patient's question:

I had my circumcision surgery 10 days ago, and there is a spot of peeling at the sutured area. What should I pay attention to after circumcision surgery?

Doctor's answer:

After the circumcision surgery, you need to rest in bed and avoid excessive activity to prevent the worsening of postoperative foreskin edema. On the third day after the surgery, go to the hospital to change the wound dressing. Take anti-inflammatory medication orally for three days to prevent wound infection. Keep the surgical wound dry and avoid getting it wet. Follow a light diet and avoid spicy foods. Avoid sexual activity for at least two months after the surgery to prevent the wound from tearing open. If there is bleeding from the wound after the surgery, go to the hospital immediately for treatment.
