Patient's question:
The other day I went to the hospital for a circumcision surgery. I want to ask how long it takes to remove the stitches?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Circumcision surgery is now a common minor procedure in urology. However, the sutures used are divided into two types: one requires visiting the hospital to have the stitches removed after the wound heals, and the other does not require removal—the stitches gradually disappear as the wound heals. So, first, you need to know which type you are using.Guidelines:
Generally, stitches can be removed about one week after the surgery, but this also depends on the healing condition of the wound. After the surgery, it is important to avoid consuming foods, smoking, drinking alcohol, or engaging in strenuous exercise. Avoid looking at stimulating books or films, and pay attention to rest and hygiene.
The above advice is for the question "How many days after circumcision is it usually necessary to have stitches removed?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
