    It takes about 7 to 10 days for a broken glans penis to recover. The specific time may vary from person to person.

    There are many reasons for glans damage, and depending on the severity, the recovery time may also be different. If it is a minor damage, caused during intercourse, the general recovery time may be shortened. If the glans damage is caused by balanitis due to excessive foreskin, the general recovery time may be prolonged, and the foreskin needs to be surgically removed to achieve a healing effect and avoid accumulation of dirt.

    Pay attention to local care measures for the glans, choose loose and breathable underwear to reduce friction on the glans, and do not have sex during treatment.
