Patient's question:
How often should the dressing be changed after circumcision? When can I take a bath? Why do the stitches fall off by themselves?Thank you very much, doctor!!!
Doctor's answer:
Circumcision surgery is simple and safe as long as it is performed by an experienced urologist in a regular, public hospital. The surgery is quick, and the recovery is also fast, so there is no need to worry. Generally, postoperatively, dressings are changed once a day for the first 3 days, then every other day after 3 days. Around 10 days later, gauze and dressing changes are no longer needed. The stitches will fall off on their own in about 2 weeks. If this does not happen, you can return to the surgeon for suture removal. After a month, you can resume sexual activity or masturbation. Therefore, there is no need to worry—relax and stay calm. Only after the surgery will it be beneficial for you in the long run, and it is also beneficial for your partner, reducing the risk of infection.Make sure to rest, avoid staying up late, excessive fatigue, smoking, and alcohol consumption. Maintain a regular lifestyle and strengthen physical exercise. Drink plenty of water and stay relaxed.
