Phimosis surgery recovery time

The recovery time from phimosis surgery may take about 30 to 40 days. The specific time will vary and is diagnosed based on your own resistance and wound care measures. It is not recommended to have sex for at least one month after surgery. One year will cause irritation of the wound and affect normal recovery.

Phimosis is a narrow foreskin opening with difficulty above the foreskin. It is divided into primary phimosis and secondary phimosis. Most of them are caused by local infection or trauma. It may also be caused by phimosis of the head. Physiological phimosis has no obvious symptoms or discomfort. If secondary inflammation causes phimosis, it will cause redness, swelling or pain, as well as itching. When phimosis is severe, circumcision surgery can be used. The trauma is small and the recovery time is quick. Most people can recover in about 30 days. If you choose circumcision surgery, the trauma may be relatively large, leading to complications such as postoperative bleeding or infection and recurrence of phimosis. Care measures must be taken to keep the wound clean and hygienic. The recovery time may be extended and takes about 40 days.

After phimosis surgery, you should not get wet or scratch the area too early. If necessary, you can take oral antibiotics, such as cefixime or cefradine, under the guidance of a doctor, which can promote wound healing and prevent infection. No sexual intercourse for 4 to 6 weeks during the recovery period from surgery.

Keep a light diet and pay attention to the cleanliness and dryness of the penis and foreskin cavity.
