Patient's question:
I want to know how long it takes to recover after a circumcision surgery. Currently, my penis gets erect too many times a day, and I feel embarrassed to go to the hospital for the surgery. In this case, I don't know what to do, because I also noticed that my glans is very sensitive. I don't know if such a condition can still be surgically treated. Please provide an answer.Doctor's answer:
Approximately 5-7 days are needed for recovery. During the recovery period after the foreskin surgery, discomfort in the glans penis may occur, which is a normal phenomenon. This sensation usually gradually disappears after about a week. It is best to rest for 1-2 days, either by lying in bed or by engaging in activities such as browsing the internet or reading. Try to minimize movement to prevent postoperative bleeding. After the foreskin surgery, minor pain and bruising may occur at the wound site. Pain relievers should be taken regularly, and the wound should heal within about 7-10 days.
