Is It Safe To Have Intercourse One Month After Circumcision?

Hiya, 9 days ago i had a circumcision. I'm going away for a holiday with all my mates in 3 weeks and wanted to know if it would then be okay to have intercourse providing good healing? Also i wanted to know if after 10 - 14 days i should remove the sutures?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Usually, in circumcision, absorbable sutures are used. If stitches are non-absorbable then get it removed by doctor after 10 to 14 days. Until then regular dressing should be done on alternate days. If complete healing takes place within 15 days then intercourse is advisable after a month. So, it depends on healing of wound to determine whether intercourse can be done or not.

Consult surgeon for examination and dressing.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
