How soon can I take a shower after phimosis surgery?

Men's foreskin growth can cause many problems, which will have a negative impact on men's sexual function and reproductive ability, as well as their hygiene and health.

If the wound is not healing well, don't rush to take a shower. You can wait a few more days. If the wound is forced to come into contact with water, infection may occur.

After phimosis surgery, men need to pay attention to some issues. In daily life, you should pay attention to the condition of the wound, keep it dry, and be careful not to wet the gauze with urine when urinating. If an erection occurs during the recovery period of surgery, men should take good care of the wound, let the erection dissipate as soon as possible, and try to avoid contact with things that may cause sexual excitement and erection.

If there is bleeding or swelling in an unhealed wound due to external impact or hardening, it can be relieved by applying ice. If the bleeding is severe, go to the hospital immediately. Within three months after phimosis surgery, men should control their sexual life because the wound may crack, leading to bleeding and infection. You should also pay attention to eating a light diet and ensuring rest after surgery.
