Description

Circumcision in men is typically a surgical procedure, and it's usually done either for medical, cultural, or religious reasons. If you're asking about treatment after circumcision, here’s a breakdown of what that usually involves: 🔹 Post-Circumcision Treatment & Care: 1. Pain Management Mild to moderate pain is common after the procedure. Over-the-counter painkillers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) help manage discomfort. 2. Wound Care Keep the area clean and dry. Doctors often apply antibiotic ointment (like bacitracin) and cover with sterile gauze. Change dressings as directed by your doctor (usually daily). 3. Hygiene Avoid baths for a few days; opt for gentle showers. Pat the area dry instead of rubbing. 4. Avoiding Irritation Wear loose-fitting underwear or clothing to reduce friction. Avoid sexual activity or masturbation for around 4–6 weeks or until fully healed. 5. Watch for Signs of Infection Redness, swelling, pus, fever, or excessive pain may indicate an infection — contact your doctor if you notice any of these. 🔹 Healing Time: Most adult men heal within 2 to 3 weeks. In infants, healing is faster — usually 7 to 10 days.
