Patient's question:
The surgery was performed on the 20th. Currently, there is slight swelling at the suture site, and otherwise, everything is fine. The stitches were completely removed on the 7th. I wanted to ask, now it's the 30th day after the surgery and the 8th day after the stitches were removed, right? When can I resume sexual activity? I still see the of the stitches at the suture site, with mild redness, but when touched, there's just a slight discomfort and mild pain. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
Recovery from circumcision surgery usually takes about 1 week. Generally speaking, sexual activity should not be resumed too soon after the surgery to avoid poor scarring. It is best to wait for 1-2 months, with the condition being that there should be no pain during erection. Circumcision surgery can change the appearance of the male penis and may cause discomfort due to friction, which is usually normal. However, you may still experience swelling one month after the surgery, which could be due to poor lymphatic drainage or surgical complications. It is best to go to the hospital for a check-up to determine the exact cause and seek further solutions.
