Patient's question:
Hello, may I ask if it's okay to have sexual activity 29 days after a circumcision? The wound also looks healed.Doctor's answer:
Low-cost circumcision surgery has a low safety factor, and the procedure may cause damage to the genitalia. There is a lack of corresponding postoperative management measures. The surface of the genitalia may appear uneven after surgery, and there will be a noticeable hardening sensation during healing.After suture removal, patients need to endure secondary pain, which may lead to increased sensitivity of the glans postoperatively, potentially causing premature ejaculation. The wound typically heals within 7 to 10 days after the surgery. Postoperatively, the wound should be kept clean and dry, and care should be taken not to wet the gauze during urination.
After circumcision, avoid prolonged standing, sitting, or walking for an extended period. If you engage in prolonged sedentary activities for leisure, it may lead to poor blood circulation in the perineum, worsen swelling at the surgical site, and hinder wound healing.
Within the first week after circumcision, avoid sexual stimulation, fantasies, or holding urine to prevent repeated erections from affecting wound healing or causing rebleeding. For the first 30 days post-surgery, sexual activity is strictly prohibited to prevent the incision from splitting or bleeding.
However, experts note that the healing time for the wound may vary depending on individual circumstances.
