How to get the inner ring after circumcision surgery

After circumcision surgery, the lower inner ring is usually handled by the doctor during the postoperative recovery period based on the wound healing condition, and patients are not allowed to operate it themselves. The inner ring is the fixation device of the circumcision stapler and needs to wait for it to fall off naturally or be removed by a doctor.

There are individual differences in the time it takes for the internal ring to fall off after circumcision. Most patients begin to loosen 7-10 days after surgery and can completely fall off within 14-21 days. During this period, it is necessary to keep the perineum clean and dry, disinfect the wound with iodophor solution every day, and avoid strenuous exercise that may cause the internal ring to shift. If rejection reactions such as redness and oozing occur at the edge of the inner ring, or if it does not fall off for more than 4 weeks, timely follow-up treatment is required. You can shower but not take a bath for 2-3 days after surgery. Wear loose cotton underwear to reduce friction. When sleeping at night, you can use sterile gauze to slightly hold up the penis to prevent pressure on the inner ring.

In rare cases, the inner ring may break prematurely or sink deeply into the skin. In this case, the activity should be stopped immediately and seek medical attention. The doctor will use special instruments to remove the remaining ring body according to the situation, and perform debridement and suturing if necessary. The removal process usually does not require anesthesia and takes about 5 minutes. After the operation, you need to continue to apply antibiotic ointments such as mupirocin ointment to prevent infection.

Sexual intercourse and masturbation are prohibited within 1 month after surgery, and straddling movements are avoided. The diet should be light, consume more high-quality protein such as fish and eggs to promote wound repair, and supplement with appropriate amounts of vitamin C to enhance immunity. If there is continuous bleeding, severe pain or fever exceeding 38°C, it may indicate infection or poor healing, and emergency medical treatment is required.
