Doctor's answer:
Hello, this is a minor surgery and usually takes about 20 minutes. Recovery typically takes one to ten days after the surgery.After a circumcision, if there is no infection, it is generally sufficient to change the gauze daily, maintain good wound hygiene, ensure the wound does not become infected or split, and avoid the need for the above-mentioned anti-inflammatory steps. In severe cases, anti-inflammatory injections can be administered. Recovery usually occurs within about a week after the surgery.
The cost of the surgery is determined based on the patient's specific surgical plan. It is generally not very expensive.
The main steps of a circumcision are performed under local anesthesia, involving the removal of a portion of the circumferential foreskin, then suturing the inner and outer layers of the foreskin together, and finally securing the circumference with petroleum jelly gauze.
The surgery usually does not exceed one hour, and sexual activity can only be resumed one month after the surgery.
