How long does it take for circumcision to hurt?

Pain after circumcision may last about two to three days, depending on individual sensitivity and recovery. For people in good physical condition, the pain may last for about two days after circumcision and regular sterilization. For the physically sensitive people, genital pain may occur after the anesthetic effect of the surgery wears off and can last for about three days. It is recommended to disinfect the skin or take oral anti-inflammatory pain medication such as acetaminophen after the pain occurs. The medication should be applied under a doctor’s supervision. In addition, circumcision may lead to genital skin damage and may be accompanied by bleeding or swelling. It is recommended not to wear too tight underwear for a short period of time to avoid causing pressure on the genitals. Patients need to consult the doctor for examination and early treatment if they feel unwell.
