Discharge Instructions After Circumcision Surgery

The instructions provide general information and advice regarding your condition. These guidelines are not exhaustive and taking these precautions may help to reduce risks and complications.

1. Post-anaesthetic Instructions

You are advised to refrain from the following activities within 24 hours after anaesthesia/surgery:

Drive a vehicle.
Operate any machinery or dangerous tools.
Perform any task that requires skills, co-ordination or judgement, e.g. financial transaction, legal documentation, ATM withdrawal, etc.
Drink alcohol or take medication such as sleeping pills, tranquilisers, etc.

2. Positioning

You may lie in any comfortable position. However, you should avoid pressure on the operated area.

3. Medication

Take your medication as prescribed for pain relief.

4. Activities

You need to be careful at home for the first six (6) weeks.
Avoid strenuous physical activities, e.g. jogging, tai-chi, swimming or badminton.
When picking objects from the floor, do so by bending your knees while keeping your back straight.
Avoid stooping, bending, training, lifting or carrying heavy objects.

5. Diet

You do not need to restrict your diet.
Take plenty of roughage, eg. vegetables and fruits to avoid constipation.

6. Home Care

Wear loose comfortable clothing.
Drink plenty of fluids.
You may bathe the next day and remove the dressing
The dressing may also drop off by itself before the next day. You can re-apply clean gauze around the wound if necessary.
Wash wound with salt solution, and leave wound dry and clean.
Scabs may be present around the wound; it will separate within 10 days to 3 weeks.
The stitches would dissolve off by themselves and usually do not need to be removed.
