How long does it take to recover from circumcision?

Recovery from circumcision surgery generally takes about 15 to 20 days, and normal sexual activity can resume after one month. The recovery time may vary slightly depending on the surgical method used. Common techniques include traditional circumcision, laser circumcision, and stapled circumcision (circumcision using a circumcision stapler), among which the stapled circumcision usually has the fastest recovery. Proper postoperative care can also shorten healing time. Typically, patients take oral antibiotics for about ten days after surgery, clean the area with potassium permanganate or povidone-iodine solution, allow the area to air-dry after washing, and wear loose-fitting underwear, all of which help speed up recovery.
