Patient's question:
Okay, here is the translation:A few days ago I had a circumcision surgery at the hospital. I want to ask how long until the stitches/staples can be removed?
Doctor's answer:
Hello! Circumcision surgery is now a common minor procedure in urology. However, the sutures used are divided into two types: one requires visiting the hospital to have the stitches removed after the wound heals, and the other does not require removal—the stitches gradually disappear as the wound heals. So, first, you need to know which type you are using.Guidelines:
Generally, stitches can be removed one week after the surgery, but this also depends on the healing condition of the wound. After the procedure, it is important to avoid consuming foods, smoking, drinking alcohol, or engaging in strenuous exercise. Avoid looking at books or watching films, and pay attention to rest and hygiene.
The above advice is for the question "How many days after circumcision are stitches usually removed?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
