During circumcision, local blood vessels and lymphatic tissues may be affected, leading to symptoms such as swelling and pain. These swelling symptoms usually begin to improve within 7 to 10 days. Around two weeks after surgery, the surgical incision generally starts to heal. Patients are advised to take good care of the wound post-surgery: avoid getting the wound wet, refrain from excessive physical activity, prolonged sitting or standing, and prevent pressure on the surgical area. It is also important to keep the incision clean and dry, avoiding contact with urine. A light diet is recommended, along with abstaining from alcohol and smoking, all of which promote recovery.
In summary, if patients experience any discomfort, they should seek timely medical evaluation and treatment at a hospital to prevent delays in proper care.
