    It takes about one to two weeks for circumcision to heal. Since everyone's body is different, the recovery speed is not particularly consistent.

    If a man has an excessively long foreskin, it may cause more smegma to grow on the glans, which will not only affect the development of the external genitalia, but may also cause odor and even affect future sexual life. It can be treated by circumcision surgery.

    After the surgery, there will be local wounds, and full recovery may take 1 to 2 weeks. You need to keep the wound area clean and dry, and try not to cause local irritation to avoid causing the wound to crack. You need to eat light food during the treatment.
