Question

How soon after circumcision can the ring be removed?

Answer

Generally speaking, it takes about 7 to 10 days for a child to have the ring removed after circumcision. However, this depends on the method of surgery, the healing of the wound, and the physician’s advice. If the wound heals well without infection or other complications, the ring suture can usually be removed around 7 days after the surgery. If there is any discomfort or doubt after surgery, it is advisable to contact a medical professional promptly.
