How long does it take to get back to normal after cutting?

It usually takes 7-30 days to return to normal after circumcision. The specific recovery time is related to personal physique, postoperative care and other factors.

Recovery after circumcision is divided into three stages. The wound healing period is 1-7 days after the operation. At this time, slight pain, edema or exudation may occur. It is necessary to keep the perineum clean and dry and avoid strenuous exercise. 7-14 days after surgery, the sutures will gradually absorb and the swelling will subside. Light daily activities can be performed but sexual intercourse or straddle movements are prohibited. The wound is completely healed 15-30 days after the operation, there is no stretch feeling when erecting, and you can gradually return to normal life. During the recovery period, you should wear loose underwear to reduce friction, use iodophor disinfection or erythromycin ointment as directed by your doctor to prevent infection, and avoid scratching the wound. If bleeding, pus or fever persists, seek medical attention promptly.

After surgery, it is recommended to consume more high-quality protein such as eggs and fish to promote tissue repair, and to supplement with appropriate amounts of vitamin C to enhance immunity. Avoid spicy food and alcohol, reduce sitting and standing for long periods of time, and sleep in a supine position to reduce local pressure. Regular re-examination during the recovery period. Bath bathing, swimming and other activities that may contaminate the wound are prohibited until the doctor confirms healing.
