How Long Should I Wait Before Engaging In Physical Activity After Circumcision?
I am an adult male in my 20's and I will be having a circumcision in a few weeks. I was advised that I should wait 4 weeks before engaging in sexual activity following the procedure, but how long should I wait before engaging in physical activity such as weightlifting and jogging? Thank you.

Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can understand your concern.
Circumcision heals rapidly,and is done under local anesthesia in adults.
In the first week after surgery,usually, heavy weight lifting and jogging are avoided. After that,you should be able to start doing the exercises gradually.
Hope your doubts are cleared. You're welcome to contact me for any other doubts, you may have.
