What kind of help do you want: Just had a circumcision in Wuhan. What precautions should I take after the surgery?
Doctor's answer:
During urination after circumcision, it is best to avoid getting the dressing wet. If the dressing becomes contaminated with urine, it should be changed promptly. For married men, after the surgery, it is important for both partners to abstain from sexual activity for a period of time and to avoid sexual urges. Circumcision typically requires about 7 to 10 days to heal before the stitches are removed. Therefore, depending on the specific situation, stitches are usually removed after 7 to 10 days, and the patient needs to rest for a period of time. After the surgery, it is certainly not advisable to return to work, as work can cause friction and irritation to the area.
