Can I take a shower after circumcision surgery?

You are not allowed to take a bath for three days after circumcision surgery, as exposure to water is prone to infection and is not conducive to wound healing.

The wound has not healed after the operation. Water in the wound area will cause edema to worsen. In severe cases, it will lead to bacterial infection and ulceration, which will delay the healing process. Generally, you can take a simple shower 7 to 10 days after the operation after the wound heals and scabs. Do not take a bath, and the shower time should not be too long. It is easy to soak the wound and affect the wound healing. Normally, you can take a normal bath after the wound has scabbed and fallen off after 4 weeks.

During the healing period, you need to pay attention to personal hygiene, change dressings on time to avoid wound infection, avoid eating spicy food, and try to wear loose pants.
