Patient's question:
I am a male, 27 years old. My foreskin is so tight that my head can't be exposed, and I want to have a circumcision. But I'm still working. I don't know how long it will take to recover after the surgery. I have many things to take care of.What kind of help I need: How long does it take to recover after a circumcision?
Doctor's answer:
Due to individual differences, the local blood vessels and lymphatic vessels take longer to fully recover after circumcision, and the local tissue fluid and blood circulation may be poor, which can lead to edema. Generally, it may take about one month for the edema to disappear! Usually, it's fine within 2 days after the stitches are removed! Don't worry about unnecessary worries! Young people need to be more cautious after circumcision, as the glans penis, which has been covered for a long time, has very sensitive nerve endings. Once exposed, it is easy to get erect. Therefore, you should avoid looking at erotic books, watching pornographic TV shows, etc. Lovers should temporarily refrain from kissing or sexual activity to prevent sexual stimulation. Avoid getting erect as much as possible to prevent the incision from reopening, which could lead to skin tearing and infection. If an erection occurs again, take deep breaths. Avoid alcohol, spicy foods, and smoking!
