What To Do AFTER Your Circumcision

After circumcision, patients may resume their usual sedentary activities but should not
engage in strenuous activity that causes pain or discomfort. It is appropriate to take a
shower two days after the procedure and then reapply a dressing. No swimming or
beach trips for two weeks. No sexual activity or masturbation is permitted for eight weeks
after circumcision. 

You will occasionally see a few drops of blood for the first two weeks.  Some men experience pain with erections at night for the first week, but this typically resolves after the first week. If sutures are required, they will absorb in a week or 2 and typically do not require removal. 

We usually see our patients a week or 2 after circumcision to check on their progress.
