How long does it take to recover from a circumcision surgery? Is it okay to have it done at the age of 23?

Patient's question:

How long does it take to recover from a circumcision surgery, and is it a bit late to have it done at the age of 23? Patient gender: nan

Doctor's answer:

Circumcision surgery is an outpatient procedure. If performed quickly, it can be completed in half an hour or more. Circumcision surgery has become quite mature in China, with high safety.
How long does it take to heal after circumcision surgery? After the surgery, stitches are usually removed after about 7–10 days, but this may vary depending on the patient's specific condition.
After circumcision surgery, patients should rest and avoid strenuous physical activity or work. It's important to avoid friction or irritation to the area. In terms of diet, spicy and irritating foods should be avoided. It's recommended to wear loose underwear and avoid excessive "distractions." If natural male erections cause the wound to be pulled, resulting in pain, anti-erection medication can be taken to alleviate the discomfort.
It is advisable to seek treatment at large and reputable hospitals.
