Patient's question:
Hello expert: I just had a circumcision surgery. Can I sit to take care of the wound?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your condition can be seated, but do not sit for too long. Post-foreskin surgery precautions:1. There may be mild pain and bruising at the wound after surgery. Take painkillers regularly, and it will heal within 7–10 days.
2. Regular follow-up visits are required before the wound heals.
3. Keep the wound clean and dry after surgery. Be careful not to wet the gauze when urinating.
4. Most wounds are stitched with absorbable sutures, so they usually do not need to be removed. However, some hospitals may require stitches to be removed according to medical advice.
5. If an erection occurs, use one hand to protect the wound and the other hand to firmly press the painful glans to allow the penis to subside naturally, avoiding wound tearing.
6. If the wound swells, aches, or bleeds, apply local cold compresses and pressure to stop the bleeding. In case of severe bleeding, seek immediate medical attention.
7. Prepare several extra pairs of underwear for changing (or consider buying disposable underwear), as serous fluid may seep and stain the underwear during recovery.
8. During recovery, it is best to avoid sexual activity. Otherwise, natural physiological responses may cause you significant discomfort!
9. After one month of surgery, patients can resume sexual activity.
