Fenrir It generally takes 7-14 days to rest and recover after circumcision surgery. The specific time is related to postoperative care, individual differences and other factors.
It is recommended to rest in bed for 1-3 days after surgery and avoid strenuous exercise or prolonged sitting to compress the wound. Ring gauze can be used to protect the incision. The swelling will gradually subside in 3-7 days, and you can engage in daily light activities such as short-distance walking, but you still need to avoid activities that cause perineal friction such as cycling and running. Most patients have good wound healing after 7 days and can gradually resume low-intensity activities such as office work, but heavy physical labor or underwater activities such as swimming need to be postponed until 14 days later. During the postoperative recovery period, the incision should be disinfected with medical iodophor every day, and loose cotton underwear should be worn to reduce friction. If there is continued bleeding, suppuration, or fever exceeding 38 degrees Celsius, timely follow-up is required.
Sexual life and masturbation should be avoided for 1 month after surgery to prevent wound dehiscence. Add more high-quality protein such as fish and eggs to your diet to promote tissue repair, and increase your intake of fresh vegetables and fruits to prevent constipation. You can sleep in a supine position at night to reduce penile edema. If you have pain during erection in the morning, you can get up to urinate or apply cold compress to relieve it. Regular follow-up visits should be conducted to check the wound healing status, and nursing measures should not be stopped without authorization before the doctor confirms complete recovery.
