Patient's question:
Please ask you. I have had my circumcision surgery for more than 20 days. The white thread has not fallen off yet. The doctor said it doesn't need to be removed. How long does it take to fall off?Doctor's answer:
Hello, most circumcisions now use absorbable sutures, which generally do not require removal as they naturally fall off. If the suture material has not fallen off after 20 days, this is also normal. The suture material will naturally fall off once the surgical site is fully healed and has formed a scab.As everyone knows, phimosis and paraphimosis can cause significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary habits, with a focus on light meals and avoiding irritating foods. Additionally, follow-up appointments can be scheduled as needed.
