    It usually takes one to two weeks to recover after phimosis surgery. The specific judgment should be based on your own recovery situation and the severity of the problem.

    Phimosis surgery is a circumcision method, which is a minimally invasive method. The local trauma is relatively small, but the penis area is difficult to care for. If the trauma is relatively small, the penis is properly cared for, and there is no infection, it can be effectively recovered in about a week. However, the local trauma caused during the operation is relatively large, and the amount of bleeding or urine contamination will affect the normal recovery of the wound, which may take two weeks.

    After the operation, local hygiene and care should be strengthened, dressings should be changed regularly, and bandages should be done well to facilitate the recovery of the condition. If infection occurs, oral treatment with cefixime tablets, amoxicillin capsules and other drugs must be followed as directed by the doctor.
