Hello, It takes six weeks to for the wound to be fully healed and during the six weeks no sexual activities should be done.
Wear clothes that will not pressurise the penis like boxers and track pants.
Always make sure your penis is facing up wards.
Drink your medication as prescribed.
Keep the wound clean at all times.
Soak your penis in a cup with lukewarm water and two spoons of table salt, preferably four times a day.
