Patient's question:
I am a male, 22 years old, and I plan to get circumcised tomorrow. I would like to know how many days of rest are generally needed after the surgery to return to normal work and study, and whether it will affect walking? Thank youWhat kind of help do I need:
How long is the rest period required after a circumcision surgery?
Doctor's answer:
Penile phimosis refers to a condition where the foreskin completely covers the glans penis in a natural state. Circumcision does not interfere with normal training and survival. As long as you avoid cycling or sitting for long periods and endure routine antibacterial and anti-inflammatory treatments, there won't be too many major issues. The wound typically heals within about 7 days. However, since the tiny blood vessels and nerves in the wound area need to be repaired, it is recommended to wait at least one month before resuming sexual activity. During the wound healing period, it is best to avoid spicy and irritating foods as well as alcohol.
