Can you not have stitches removed after circumcision surgery?

Patient's question:

Circumcision surgery requires suture removal. Can it be skipped? I went to remove them yesterday, but some were still not removed for me. Are the remaining ones unnecessary to remove?

Doctor's answer:

Pay attention to the following in daily life:
1. Rest for 1-2 days after surgery to prevent skin peeling.
2. Avoid sexual stimulation that may cause penile erection.
3. Do not eat spicy or irritating foods, quit smoking and alcohol, wear loose clothing, and avoid strenuous exercise.
4. Follow medical advice for dressing changes and follow-up checks after surgery.
5. Use medications as prescribed to prevent the spread of infection.
6. If any discomfort recurs, seek medical attention promptly for follow-up checks.
Full recovery usually takes about a week. Sexual activity can be resumed completely after one month.
Hello, how was the suture used during your surgery? If it was absorbable, you won’t need to have it removed.
When patients face urological problems, we should promptly implement symptomatic treatment principles and avoid delaying medical visits. If urological conditions do not improve with treatment, it is important to change the treatment plan in a timely manner.
