Patient's question:
Patient is a male, 39 years old.Doctor's answer:
Precautions after circumcision surgery should not be ignored to prevent infection or other risks.1. After the surgery, in addition to children who may need short-term hospital observation for safety reasons, most patients can resume their daily activities and do not require hospitalization. Teenagers and adult patients may experience swelling, pain, and bleeding at the wound site due to penile erection after the surgery. If the bleeding is mild, local cold compress and pressure can stop it. However, if the bleeding is severe, immediate hospital consultation is necessary.
2. After the anesthesia wears off, the wound may have mild pain and bruising. Medication should be taken regularly, and symptoms usually subside within three days. The wound typically heals within seven to ten days. Before healing is complete, follow the doctor’s instructions and return for regular follow-up visits.
3. The wound area should be kept clean and dry. When urinating, be careful not to wet the gauze. If the gauze gets wet with urine, remove it first and then return to the clinic for medication.
4. It is best to rest for 1-2 days after the surgery. You can lie down, browse the internet, or read, but try to minimize movement to prevent postoperative bleeding.
5. Sexual activity can only be resumed one month after the surgery. Recommended reading: <<
