Can you take a shower after circumcision surgery?

Patient's question:

Can I take a shower? What should I pay attention to when taking a shower?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the edema that appears locally after surgery usually recovers within 2-3 weeks, although it can also last for more than 3 months. However, there is no need to panic about it. The reason for the edema after a circumcision is that the blood circulation in the frenulum area is relatively rich. After the surgery, the blood and lymphatic vessels of the skin are cut, and new circulation pathways need to be established, which can lead to poor drainage for a period of time. I hope this helps!
