Walking from day one, with activity restricted otherwise during the first week; a gradual return to exercise in weeks two to four; and full activity including sexual intercourse only once the staples have come away, which is the case in 95% of men by day 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When do the staples fall off?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They shed naturally as the wound heals \u2014 about 20% of men notice them coming away by day 10 and 95% by day 30. They come away at different times around the circumference rather than all at once, which is normal. Any still in place beyond four weeks can be removed by hand at a follow-up appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I shower?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Shower normally but keep the wound away from direct water and soap during the first week, and apply Terramycin antiseptic ointment twice daily afterwards. From week two the ointment is no longer needed, as the wound has sealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When can I resume sexual activity?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not before four weeks. The wound looks sealed well before the tissue is strong enough for the mechanical stress involved. Your urologist will confirm at the follow-up appointment based on healing and whether the staples have come away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are morning erections normal?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, and expected. They stretch the healing tissue and may be uncomfortable, usually manageable without medication. If they are excessively painful, contact the hospital \u2014 medication can be prescribed to reduce night-time erections during healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is not normal, and what should I do?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bleeding soaking the bandage or continuing after ten minutes of firm pressure, inability to pass urine, a bandage that feels progressively tighter with increasing swelling, the head of the penis turning dark or cold, fever or chills, spreading redness or offensive discharge, worsening pain, or a staple digging in or snagging. Any of these means returning to hospital the same day \u2014 Bangkok Hospital Headquarters, or Samitivej Sriracha on 088-022-1445, or the emergency department out of hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arranging a consultation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr. Soarawee Weerasopone sees patients at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bangkokhospital.com\/en\/bangkok\/doctor\/dr-soarawee-weerasopone-2\">Bangkok Hospital Headquarters<\/a> and at Samitivej Sriracha Hospital in Chonburi on <a href=\"tel:0880221445\">088-022-1445<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bangkok Hospital Telemedicine is available for non-urgent questions, including for international patients \u2014 arrange it in advance by email to the Urology department at <a href=\"mailto:bhquro@bdms.co.th\">bhquro@bdms.co.th<\/a>.
