Experts- How to Heal Faster After Circumcision?

What is Circumcision?

Circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin covering the glans of the penis. During this procedure, the surgeon uses a third-generation ZSR device to cut the foreskin. The torn edges of the skin are sealed with a silicon ring that will fall off on its own in a few days. The patient will not feel pain or have any other side effects because of the silicon ring. The patient can carry out his regular life right from the next day after getting circumcised.

When might one need circumcision surgery?

• Phimosis
• Paraphimosis
• Balanitis
• Balanitis xerotica obliterans or BXO
• Recurrent urinary tract infections
• Penile cancer or precancerous tumors

Postoperative Care & Recovery

On an average, recovery after a circumcision in adults can take anywhere from 6-7 days to complete. Depending on the method of your surgery, your overall health and quality of postoperative care, the exact duration of your recovery period may vary. During this period, it is important to strictly follow any medications or recovery tips that may have been prescribed by your urologist to reduce the chances of postoperative complications as much as possible. Mentioned below are some simple tips that may help you recover faster after your circumcision surgery:

• After the surgery, it is considered normal for the penis to be sensitive for the first 2 weeks and it is important to keep the surgical site dry for the first 48 hours after surgery.
• Pain from adult circumcision is typically mild and does not require any special medications but your doctor may prescribe you some mild medications for pain management and faster recovery. It is important to take such medications as instructed by your urologist.
• Avoid any physical activity or movements that may put too much strain or pressure on the site of surgery.
• Wear comfortable and supportive underwear that can hold the head of the penis towards the belly button lying flat.
• When taking a shower, be careful not to apply any soap or gel over the surgical site for at least a few weeks. Avoid harsh towels and use soft towels to gently pat the area dry instead.

Risks and Complications Involved in Circumcision

While circumcision is generally considered to be one of the safest and the most commonly performed surgical procedures, as is the case with any other surgery, there are some risks and complications that could occur either during or after surgery. While such cases are rare, they can still happen, and it is important to keep a close eye on any unexpected symptoms that may arise after your surgery and inform your urologist about them. Some of the common complications that can occur after a circumcision procedure are given below:

• Excessive bleeding: Bleeding is one of the most common complications that may occur after circumcision. While some bleeding after the surgery is to be expected, excessive or prolonged bleeding may require medical attention.
• Infection: If proper hygiene and postoperative care are not maintained, the surgical wound may become infected. Signs of infection may include increased redness, swelling, pus and fever. If you are noticing any of these symptoms, it is advised to discuss them with your healthcare provider as soon as possible.
• Excessive or insufficient removal of the foreskin: In some cases, there may be too much or too little removal of the foreskin resulting in cosmetic or functional problems. In such a case, you may need to undergo a second circumcision procedure.
• Scarring: Similar to any other surgical procedure, circumcisions can leave scars. However, proper wound care and strict postoperative care help minimize the extent and visibility of the scarring.
• Complications from anesthesia: While complications of any kind due to anesthesia are rare, they can still happen and may require immediate attention from the surgeon. Some side effects from anesthesia, such as nausea, vomiting, and chills are considered normal and should subside on their own. However, if they continue to persist, it is advisable to contact your healthcare provider as soon as possible.
