Recovery after a Laser Circumcision: What to Expect

A man’s foreskin is removed from the tip of the penis during circumcision. One of the oldest and largest surgical operations, circumcision is mainly carried out for doctrinal and therapeutic purposes.

A baby's circumcision is a quick operation that takes five to ten minutes to perform. At the same time, the procedure takes approximately 30 minutes for an adult. An anesthetist gives you pills for pain management just before the procedure, and you can choose between a local or general anesthetic.

Phimosis and Paraphimosis can cause sexually transmitted illnesses that can be prevented with circumcision. WHO also states that the procedure decreases the risk of acquiring HIV during sexual activity by 60%.

After Care of Laser circumcision

  • Following the circumcision, there is some minor discomfort, but it is manageable.
  • The typical recovery time following circumcision is one week.
  • Instead of baggy boxer shorts, wear underwear that supports the penis.
  • Drink a lot of water. It eases the discomfort of urinating and lessens urine acidity.
  • Use only the lotion that your specialist has recommended. Scarring and infection danger may both rise as a result.
  • You can apply petroleum jelly to the penis' tip. It assists in lessening the stinging sensation experienced when urinating.
  • While taking a bath is allowed, you should wait at least two days after surgery before taking a full body wash.
  • Following two days, ensure you don't clean the area of the incision whenever you have a full-body bath.
  • If you're an adult, refrain from sexual activity for two to three weeks.

Benefits of Laser Circumcision

  • It reduces the possibility of contracting infections or disorders caused by STIs.
  • Virtually minimises the risk of penile cancer
  • Lowers the risk of urethral infections
  • Makes it simpler to clean so that hygiene may be maintained
  • Decreases the potential for human papillomavirus

If you're considering one, you can speak with a specialist at Apollo Spectra Hospitals regarding your goals for something like laser circumcision.

Recovery time of laser circumcision

You'll probably feel swelling & bruising on or around the penis, mainly in the days and hours following the operation. This should be anticipated. Every 2 hours, place an ice pack on your groin for ten to twenty minutes. A tiny piece of cloth should be placed between both the ice & your skin. Keeping the bandages covering your penis hygienic for the first few weeks of healing is crucial to lowering the chance of infection.

Adult circumcision healing typically requires 2 - 3 weeks. You might have to ask for a week off of duty. Some folks will require more time to resume their usual activities.

Is circumcision preferable with laser surgery?

In comparison to more traditional techniques of circumcision, laser circumcision is much more effective. Since laser circumcision is a daycare treatment, the patient can return home the same day. Within two to three days of the surgery, the patient may continue his usual routine thanks to the quicker and simpler healing process.

Do sutures need to be used for laser circumcision?

Following 3–4 weeks from the treatment, the patient is free to engage in sexual activity. This surgery's sutures self-dissolve 12 to 15 days following the operation. For seven to ten days following the operation, refrain from engaging in vigorous physical activity and prolonged travel.

How should a laser circumcision wound be cleaned?

Use lukewarm water to rinse the area daily, then pat it thoroughly. Alcohol and hydrogen peroxide both impede recovery; avoid using them. If it weeps or scrapes against garments, you can wrap the spot with a gauze plaster and even a thin coating of petroleum jelly, like Vaseline.
