Post circumcision and activity

[orangeandyellow]

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if any of you were in a fit state to drive a car shortly after getting the circumcision?

in the event that a doctor or hospital visit is necessary in the days proceeding that you were able to drive yourselves there. I know that anything outside of that would be considered kind of bonus territory but I'm referring to emergency or semi-emergency situations

I could have driven in an emergency, but wouldn't have enjoyed it.

Didnt need to but I’d of said if I had to then could have done. If you have general anaesthetic like I did when had done I believe there is a cool off period where you can’t drive because of the effects of that but after a few days in emergency I think you’ll be able to

I drove myself home straight after as it was local anaesthetic. Everything was numb anyway. I didn’t need to drive much after that for a while but it was ok, being careful getting in and out without knocking it. The actual driving part is ok

I drove after 3 days or so

And that’s fair enough. But as I said everyone is different and I think there should be some mindfulness here and being supportive

thank you all for responses

I asked this question because my wife don't drive, I live 23km from GP and over 65km from the nearest A&E

Also fairly recently moved into the area I live now so asking a neighbour to help in a case like this isn't much of an option

Dayof surgery you can. However 1-4 weeks after you want to drive sparingly and with loose pants. You find some bumps and movements get sensitive ie be careful of sudden stops.
