How long did it take for your swelling or edema to disappear after surgery? Thank you all for your inputs; I appreciate it.

4 weeks out still so swollen can't hardly touch it worse than the 1st 2 surgeries combined.

How long does your surgeon expect the swelling to last? Did they recommend using a compression wrap, or is it better to let it heal on its own?

Hahaha :D Thanks
YouTube surgeons say 3-5 weeks, but the reality seems more like 3 months.

I waited six weeks after surgery before my scrotum began to return to a relatively normal size. At that time I was able to begin cycling.

I had some of the worst swelling and bruising out there. I got to where I could wank after four weeks, but I still have an edema in my sac after 8 weeks. Everyone heals at a different rate, you’ll get there soon. Compression is really helpful, get a pair of compression shorts on Amazon one size too small.

Best, Leto
