    Anesthesia for circumcision will generally wear off within two to five hours, depending on the individual's physical condition and tolerance to the anesthetic.

    Circumcision is a local circumcision surgery, which is a minimally invasive technique. The entire process lasts a relatively short time and requires local anesthesia. Generally, the anesthetic will gradually lose its effect two hours after the operation. However, depending on the individual's physical constitution, the anesthetic can be tolerated for a long time, and it may not lose its effect after five hours.

    After the anesthetic loses its effect, it will cause pain in the glans area. It is necessary to strengthen local hygiene and care, and at the same time adjust one's own emotions to avoid penile erection and irritation of the wound area.
