What helps a circumcision wound heal faster? A few lifestyle and diet tips can help your
circumcision wound heal quicker. Avoid junk food and greasy foods as they can interfere with
your digestion and cause bowel movements to be delayed. Constipation can slow down wound
healing and prolong postoperative discomfort. It can also cause a wide array of health problems
including infection. Here are some lifestyle and dietary tips to speed up your wound healing.
Rest. Men have different pain tolerance levels so some may need to rest for several days. Those
who work in jobs that require heavy lifting or sit for long periods should avoid heavy activity until
the wound heals. Gentle exercise is safe after a week. It is best to avoid sexual activity as it can
cause strain to the skin. To avoid further discomfort, it is advisable to wear a condom.
Foreskin removal is one of the most common ways to ensure a faster circumcision wound. To
cut off blood flow, a bell-shaped plastic device is placed on the foreskin. The doctor then uses a
scalpel to remove the foreskin. It may take several minutes to remove the skin. The remaining
skin should be able to grow back to its original position after the circumcision.
After circumcision, you might notice a blood-tinged draining from the incision site. This drainage
may be visible in your childâ€TMs diaper. You should clean it with warm water twice a day. This
will keep the incision clean and prevent crusting at the tip of the penis. It is important to keep the
penis clean and dry.
After the procedure, the wound will continue to bleed for several days. Alcohol should be
avoided during the first week. It can dehydrate your body and reduce the effectiveness local
anaesthetic. The plastic ring will usually fall off after 7-14 days. You can go back to work after
the circumcision. But make sure you take good care. Warm water is essential for your penis.
You don’t want friction between your penis ring and the plastic. It also helps to keep the area
moist.
Avoid vigorous exercise after circumcision. This can cause swelling and soreness that could
delay healing. It is important that you consult your doctor at this time. Mild swelling is normal
following the circumcision. Do not apply unapproved creams on the wound, as these could lead
to infection or scarring. If the swelling is severe, seek medical attention. Warm salt water will
speed up the healing process.
Uncircumcised males may develop bacterial infections like balanoposthitis. These infections can
cause pain during urination. In these cases circumcision will decrease the risk. A higher risk of
developing penile carcinoma in men who smoke and have a high BMI is also a factor. Although it
is rare, circumcision may be able to reduce your chance of developing penile carcinoma.
Most people find the first few days following a circumcision to be the most difficult.
This is why it
is important to follow the doctor’s advice and take painkillers as well as other anti-inflammatory
medications. It is best to stick to the prescribed dosage and follow the doctor’s instructions. Ask
your doctor if you have multiple medications and what the effects are of combining them.
Aspirin-based medications can be effective in thinning blood but can increase bleeding from
wounds. If you take aspirin regularly, consult your doctor before you start taking them.
After circumcision, you should wait several weeks before starting sexual activity. The area may
become red and swollen following the procedure. There may be a yellow discharge or crust for a
few weeks. These are normal signs that the procedure is complete within two to three weeks.
These are just a few tips that will help ensure the wound heals quickly and prevent keloids.
First, you should clean the circumcision site daily. Warm water should be used to clean the area
for the first few weeks. Avoid using baby wipes or soapy water. It is recommended that dressings
be changed every two hours. Petroleum jelly can also be used to treat the area after the
circumcision. Your baby will feel pain and you should be there during the procedure.
