Circumcision recovery typically takes about two weeks to one month. The exact duration depends on individual postoperative care. With proper care, most patients recover within approximately two weeks; however, inadequate care—such as local infection—may prolong recovery to around one month. During the recovery period, regular hospital visits for dressing changes are required, along with appropriate use of anti-infective and anti-inflammatory medications.
