3 new circumcisions towards the end of the week
All doing well. One in finance, the next a tattoo artist, the next an aeronautical trainee with aspiriations to become a commercial pilot. Expect some spotting for 24 hours following your procedure, but in truth the total volume would be about a teaspoon as a rule. It is imperative all patients be examined the next day to be sure their dressing is not too tight. If so, it has to be removed and replaced.
Yes, you may shower the next day with either some Saran wrap or a dry condom to cover your dressing. If the dressing gets a little wet, that’s OK. But of course soaking is not enouraged. Usage of pain meds usually stops the next day.
Most of my patients say remarks similar to “why do people say adult circumcision is a big ordeal?”
I wouldn’t know.
