i was swollen for 6 weeks and for the first 4 i was purple and the size of a gals softball.......

my scrotum peeled for the first many weeks and the purple was there for about 8 weeks, it wasn't painful after a short time, but I was concerned. i went in to see the Dr and he said everything looked fine which I wasn't convinced of. Hang in there you will get through it, i was also worried about infection but it wasn't.

After reading these posts,I feel pretty fortunate. I was swollen for about 2 weeks. I had very limited time to ice because I was driving back to Wisconsin. I was really black and blue for about 3 weeks and two days short of my 4 weeks, everything is just fine. The most discomfort I have encountered was keeping it pointing up.

Penoscrotal for me. I was swollen like a grapefruit for about a week and it got more normal just after the second week. I did ice mine several times each day. Most of the bruising showed up the second or third day, wear loose clothing but snug underwear. It gets better, just listen to the Dr.

Hello gentlemen! I reached out to the doc but haven’t heard back.

How long were your testicles swollen? I’m two weeks out and about the size of a grapefruit. No pain just really swollen and uncomfortable. Hoping I don’t have an infection.

Thank you!

I have the same issue. Look; You were 7” pre op. My own doctor called this evening, 3 days post op, and told me that the larger the unit, the more swelling is an issue.

Use the ice. Take the naproxen. Figure out a winch to haul yourself around until you get a handle on this thing. As far as infection: If it’s not gross or green or giving off a bad odor, it’s fine.

Go to CVS and buy some of that surgical soap. You pump it out of the bottle. Take a shower every time you go number 2 and clean your ass, your balls, and the incision, in that order. Pat it dry. Put a hand
towel on the edge of the vanity. Hoist your balls onto the towel on the vanity and take care of your business.

You’re going to be fine.
