How long after a circumcision procedure can one resume sexual activity?

Patient's question:

Just had a circumcision surgery a few days ago. When can I have normal sexual life? Is it okay as long as it has healed?

Doctor's answer:

After the circumcision surgery, the stitches are usually removed around 5-10 days, and recovery typically takes about 15 days. Normal sexual activity can generally be resumed around 20 days. However, the exact recovery time cannot be determined and depends on the individual patient's condition. It is recommended that patients avoid engaging in sexual activity too soon after the surgery to prevent affecting the healing process.
