Patient's question:
I've been divorced for about five or six years, and I've never had any children. But for some reason, after a thorough check-up, I found out that it was like this—there was a foreskin, so I had a circumcision. I want to know what precautions to take after the circumcision and what are the things to pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
Hello. After circumcision, you can take medication or use distraction techniques under the guidance of your treating doctor to prevent erections, which helps with wound healing. 3. The absorbable suture will usually dissolve or fall off on its own within about 20 days. 4. Some swelling after circumcision is normal. The complete resolution of post-circumcision swelling depends on the full establishment of local lymphatic circulation. The duration of swelling varies from person to person, but it generally takes 1-3 months to fully subside. In very rare cases, swelling may resolve in less than 3 months.
