How long does it take to recover from circumcision

Recovery from circumcision takes about 7 to 10 days, but because everyone’s body is different, the exact recovery time should depend on how the wound recovers. Circumcision is a very common type of surgery in male medicine or urology. This type of surgery is a relatively delicate surgery and can be performed with local anesthesia. The prognosis is better and the recovery period is shorter because it is less invasive. Patients can walk on their own after the surgery, and it does not have much effect on their self-care. After the operation, you should follow the doctor’s instructions to go to the hospital regularly for wound disinfection and dressing change. About three days after the operation, you can go to the hospital to remove the bandage, and if the wound heals well, it can be changed to a normal bandage, and then you should go to the hospital every three to four days to check the wound healing, and the stitches can be removed in about ten days. After the stitches are removed, the wound still needs to be observed, and if there is no abnormality, normal life activities can be carried out. During this period, you should avoid strenuous activities to prevent infection and maintain a good routine to promote wound healing. The better the wound heals, the shorter the recovery period.
