Hello, after the circumcision surgery, it is important to urinate promptly to avoid urinary retention. Keep the perineum clean. Some patients may experience discomfort in the local area after the surgery and should avoid scratching. Both before and after urination and defecation, ensure the area is thoroughly cleaned to prevent contamination.If there is an erection, use one hand to protect the wound and the other hand to firmly press the painful glans to allow the penis to naturally subside, preventing the wound from tearing.
If the wound swells, aches, or bleeds, apply local cold compresses and pressure to stop the bleeding. In cases of severe bleeding, seek immediate medical attention.
After the surgery, keep the wound clean and dry. Be careful not to wet the gauze when urinating. Most wounds are sutured with absorbable stitches, so they usually do not require removal. However, some hospitals may require stitches to be removed according to medical advice.
One month after the surgery, the patient can resume sexual activity but should avoid spicy foods and foods that are considered "heating" (e.g., chicken, duck, beef, lamb, and seafood). Do not drink alcohol or smoke.
Regarding nutritional supplements, I believe they are not necessarily required.
