Patient's question:
I recently don't know why my lower body feels very uncomfortable, and I'm also not experiencing morning erections anymore. What are the precautions to take after undergoing a circumcision surgery?Doctor's answer:
Hello, avoid spicy and irritating foods after surgery, wear loose underwear, and avoid getting the wound wet to prevent infection. If there is an infection, seek medical review promptly. Avoid sexual activity too soon, as it is better if there is no pain upon erection. I hope this helps.It might just be psychological. Normally, a circumcision would not cause the penis to appear shortened. Circumcision only involves removing the foreskin and does not cause shortening. It could be psychological factors, or it could also be due to abnormal erectile function and insufficient congestion during recovery, which may create a visual illusion of shortening. Of course, if too much foreskin is removed, the length of the penis may appear shorter upon erection after the wound heals due to the restriction of the remaining skin.
