Expected Help: If you need to have circumcision, when is the best time to undergo surgery?
Doctor's answer:
How to choose the best time for a circumcision surgery?1. Keep the wound as dry as possible after the surgery. If urine gets on the gauze, replace it at the hospital promptly. It is more suitable to have a circumcision surgery in winter than in summer because taking a bath after surgery will be more troublesome in summer.
2. Avoid sexual stimulation and fantasies after the surgery to prevent the penis from getting erect. Of course, the doctor will prescribe medication to prevent erection, but if you cannot control sexual stimulation, there is still a risk of the wound tearing due to erection, which may delay healing.
3. Avoid friction on the local area after the surgery. Activities like cycling have a significant impact on postoperative recovery. Generally, normal life can be resumed about one week after the surgery. However, due to the high sensitivity of the glans, there may be a temporary sense of unnaturalness, which will disappear around two weeks post-surgery. Normal sexual activity can be resumed 2 to 4 weeks after the surgery.
