Patient's question:
Medical Description: 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. Once exposed, they may easily become erect, so avoid reading or watching anything that might stimulate arousal. Couples should temporarily separate and avoid hugs, kisses, or any sexual stimulation.
When urinating after surgery, wear loose underwear to prevent wetting the dressing. If the dressing gets wet with urine, change it immediately. Follow your doctor's instructions for medication to prevent infection.
