"How long after a circumcision surgery can one return to work?"

Update Date: Source: Network

How long can you work after a foreskin surgery depends on the recovery condition and the nature of the work. If you usually do mental work, you can work normally after three days of foreskin surgery. If you do light physical labor, you can do light work about a week after foreskin surgery. If you engage in heavy physical labor, you can work at least two weeks after foreskin surgery. If you don't pay attention to nursing after foreskin surgery, it is easy to lead to infection, frequent urination, urgency, or redness and swelling. After foreskin surgery, pay attention to the following matters: 1. Reduce unnecessary activities. After surgery, if the wound is hit or bumped, it will feel painful, and too much activity can easily aggravate edema, so try to avoid strenuous activities and focus on resting. 2. Reduce the chances of erection. Avoid sexual stimulation during the day, drink less water before going to bed at night, and set an alarm clock to get up and urinate regularly to reduce the fullness of urine in the bladder in the early morning. This can reduce many morning erections because repeated erections after surgery can cause pain, affect rest, and can lead to increased edema and even bleeding at the wound. 3. Take antibiotics to prevent infection. 4. Return to the hospital for follow-up visits, dressing changes, suture removal, and ring removal, etc. 5. It is best to lie in bed for a week after foreskin surgery and avoid standing or sitting for long periods. Some young people are ashamed to ask for leave after surgery and still stay on the job, but they don't realize that poor local blood circulation can easily lead to edema at the wound, making it difficult for the wound to heal and delaying recovery indefinitely.
