Circumcision Recovery: Hygiene, Pain Control and Warning Signs

A concise recovery guide covering dressing care, swelling, activity limits and symptoms that need review.

After circumcision, mild swelling, bruising and discomfort can be expected for a few days. Keep the area clean and dry, follow dressing instructions and take medicines only as prescribed.

Avoid sexual activity, swimming and strenuous exercise until cleared by your doctor. Wear supportive, comfortable underwear and avoid friction.

Seek care for fever, worsening swelling, pus, heavy bleeding, severe pain, inability to pass urine or wound opening.
