How long does it take to recover from a circumcision surgery?

Patient's question:

How long does it take to recover from a circumcision surgery? Is it a bit late to have it done at the age of 23. Patient gender: nan

Doctor's answer:

Circumcision surgery is an outpatient procedure. If done quickly, it can be completed in half an hour or more. Circumcision surgery has become quite mature in China, with high safety.
How long does it take to recover after circumcision surgery? After the surgery, stitches are usually removed after about 7–10 days, but this also depends on the patient's specific condition.
After circumcision surgery, patients should rest and avoid strenuous work or physical exertion. It's important to avoid friction or irritation to the area. In terms of diet, spicy and irritating foods should be avoided. It's recommended to wear loose underwear and avoid excessive "distractions." If natural male erections cause the wound to be pulled, resulting in pain, anti-erection medication can be taken to alleviate the discomfort.
It is advisable to seek treatment at reputable, large hospitals.
