Its been 15 days since my circumcision swelling and scarring has died down, but the dissolvable stitches remain. When can I get back to playing sport like playing basketball ?

Recommend activities like swimming and sports are after 6 weeks bro because still you have stitches and internal healing take time ..
I’d suggest wait for atleast 4 weeks, and then gradually start with sports activities

Trust me man it is, patience is key when recovering just gotta take everything slow
Varies by person, but I left it just under 3 weeks before starting exercise again - gently at first with vasoline to protect healing & desensitise glands.
Completed a 10k run just 4 weeks after op though, no discomfort or problems, during or after, other than through lost fitness.
So assuming all going well with your healing 3-4 weeks, but go by how YOU feel personally & how well your healing is going.
I probably wouldn’t go swimming though until all surface healing is complete & stitches gone due to infection risk.
Tbh the short answer is after 6 weeks bruh & only if yo shit seems to be ready for it but minimum for sports… wait at least 6 weeks bro
