How long after circumcision can the stitches be removed, can I take a shower, and can I eat spicy food appropriately?

Patient's question:

Hello Doctor,
Could you please tell me how long after the circumcision the stitches can be removed, and can I take a shower? Can I eat spicy food appropriately? Why is there still some swelling down there? Is it normal?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the symptoms of swelling and pain after circumcision surgery are normal. It is important to pay attention to subsequent dressing changes!
Generally, the stitches can be removed after about ten days. You can take a bath five days after the stitches are removed. I hope my answer is helpful to you!
