Patient's question:
Is the risk of circumcision high???Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, circumcision is a minor surgery with no significant risks. The procedure requires local anesthesia, so it won't be painful.Swelling after circumcision is normal, as the wound needs time to heal and establish lymphatic circulation. The basic healing process takes about a week, while full recovery may take around a month. Avoid sexual activity for 45 days post-surgery. The glans should remain exposed, and dry peeling is common. Avoid spicy, alcoholic, or irritating foods after the surgery to prevent inflammation.
Take a sedative before bed (as prescribed by your doctor) to prevent erections, which could cause pain or bleeding. Young men should be particularly cautious, as the nerve endings of the long-covered glans are very sensitive and may easily become erect once exposed. Avoid reading or watching sexually stimulating materials. Couples should temporarily separate, refraining from hugs, kisses, or other forms of sexual stimulation.
Wear loose underwear when urinating after the surgery. Avoid wetting the dressing during urination. If the dressing becomes wet with urine, replace it promptly. Follow your doctor's instructions for medication to prevent infection.
