Just finished performing circumcision? Follow the following method so that circumcision wounds heal quickly!

Hello, Hermina Friends! Circumcision, commonly referred to ascircumcision," is the act of cleaning or cutting all or only part of the foreskin on the penis. With the development of the times and the existing technology in the world of health, circumcision is highly recommended for male health because it can reduce the risk of contracting infectious diseases and can maintain cleanliness. In general, wounds after circumcision take up to 6 weeks to heal. In the first two weeks after circumcision, circumcised patients may feel sore in the penis area. Therefore, for 48 hours after circumcision, the sewing area must be kept dry, and avoid swimming for two weeks to accelerate recovery.

 

What Happens If Circumcision Is Not Performed Properly?

Even though circumcision is a safe medical procedure, it still has some risks, for example:

50. Irritation that occurs at the tip of the penis
50. Infection
50. Pain
50. Bleeding
50. React to anesthetic drugs

In some very rare cases, the healing process of the foreskin does not penetrate properly and can stick to the tip of the penis (penile adhesions). If this happens, the doctor or person performing the circumcision must perform other circumcision procedures or actions for the patient.
