Post-Circumcision Instructions — Sleeve Technique

During the first 6 hours after surgery:

• The penis will feel numb from the penile nerve block — this is normal and expected
• You can urinate normally
• Do NOT open or remove the pressure dressing — it is securing the wound against minor post-operative bleeding
• You may gently open the pressure dressing the following morning; contact me if anything unusual occurs

During the first week after surgery:

• Complete all prescribed oral antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication
• Shower as normal, but keep the surgical wound away from water and soap to avoid irritation
• Apply Terramycin antiseptic ointment to the wound twice daily after each shower
• Morning erections may cause discomfort as they stretch the healing wound tissue — this is normal. Most patients do not need medication for this, but contact me if erections are causing significant pain
• Keine sexuelle Aktivität
• No heavy exercise (jogging, cycling, running)
• Walking is permitted
• Light desk-based work is permitted; outdoor duties may be considered if wound care is maintained
• Wear loose boxer-style underwear — avoid tight conventional underwear

Weeks 2–4 after surgery:

• Terramycin ointment is no longer needed — the skin has naturally sealed
• Absorbable sutures will gradually shed over 1 month; this is completely normal
• Heavy exercise is permitted — gradually increase intensity
• Any type of underwear is acceptable
• No sexual activity yet — even though the wound appears healed, the tissue is not yet strong enough for this level of activity. Patience is important here

After 4 weeks:

• The wound is fully healed with the expected cosmetic result visible
• All activities are permitted with no restrictions

Frequently Asked Questions About Post-Circumcision Care

When can I resume exercise and sexual activity after circumcision?

Light walking is allowed from day one. Light desk work is permitted in the first week. Heavy exercise (jogging, cycling, running) can resume gradually from week 2. Sexual activity should be avoided until at least 4 weeks post-surgery, even if the wound appears healed — the healing tissue is not yet strong enough for this level of physical activity. Following this timeline carefully reduces the risk of wound complications and helps ensure the best cosmetic outcome.

Is it normal to have pain from morning erections after circumcision?

Yes. Morning erections stretch the healing wound tissue and commonly cause discomfort or pain during the first week after circumcision. This is a normal physiological phenomenon and usually does not require medication. If the erections are causing significant or severe pain, please contact your surgeon — medication can be prescribed in specific cases. The discomfort from morning erections typically resolves as the wound heals over the first 1–2 weeks.

How should I care for the wound in the first week?

Complete all prescribed antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication. Shower normally but keep the wound away from direct water and soap contact to avoid irritation. Apply Terramycin antiseptic ointment twice daily (morning and evening after showering) until the end of week 1. Wear loose boxer-style underwear to reduce friction on the wound. From week 2 onwards, ointment application is no longer needed as the skin has naturally sealed.
