Return to work

When did everyone return to work after circumcision trying to decide how much time to take off

The general suggestion is to take 1 week off work unless either it includes heavy lifting or keeps you confined to one spot most of the day, in which case consider 2 weeks.

However, I do know of folk who went back to work the same evening or next day.

The thing is that everyone heals as a different rate and some feel pain or discomfort more than others.

I went back next day for a 24 hour shift, wasn’t too painful as I still had original cast on, keep in mind that I’m 40 days post circ and dealing with hypersensitivity (improving though) but yea it was never really painful per say ... I’m in medical field so no hard labor for me, but yea if u do construction take a week off. Best thing though if you have to goto work and it still stings, just wrap up your penis with gauze, Vaseline and neosporin, you’ll thank me later.

I had my circumcision on a Friday and then went back to work the following Wednesday. I'm a desk jockey, so if I had really needed to I could've gone back to work on the Monday already. Bearing in mind, I had no pain, or discomfort after the procedure and very limited sensitivity, but this will vary from person to person. Good luck!!! 👍

Agree with mrpresident . If your job isn’t very physical, a few days off is plenty. If it is, I’d say a full week is good for most people.

I worked in an office so not a physical role. I had my circumcision on Friday, relaxed over the weekend and then went back to work on Monday. I then waited a couple of weeks before doing light exercise.
