Here are some...: At this time-one day after circumcision, you should not do anything to mentally and physically stimulate the penis so to minimize and even avoid unwanted and untimely erection leading to unnecessary pain, skin edge separation, and bleeding. Post-circumcision healing may take 2-4 weeks to set but the individual duration to heal still widely varies. More? Ask your surgeon for what you need to know.
