Patient's question:
Hello Doctor,Could you please tell me how long after the circumcision the stitches can be removed? Can I take a shower? Is it okay to eat spicy food? Why is there still some swelling down there? Is it normal?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the symptoms of swelling and pain after a circumcision surgery are normal. It is important to pay attention to the subsequent dressing changes!Generally, stitches can be removed after about ten days. You can take a bath five days after the stitches are removed. I hope my answer is helpful to you! I believe everyone knows that phimosis can cause significant harm to patients, so it is important to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, pay attention to dietary issues, and maintain a light diet, avoiding irritating foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary if needed.
