Maybe it was 6 weeks and 8 until I could use it. I think the worse of it all is when they put the catheter BACK in because I could not pee and they would not let me leave until I did. Then they had to take it out and I screamed! The recovery went well after the first few days so it sounds like you will be good to go soon. Just take it easy and use lots of ice!


He told me to come back in two weeks for the inflation and to get the staples removed, but he will be in Brazil teaching the beginning of that week so I pushed it off to the following week so I can go down on a Sunday and have my appointment Monday then go back home. That will put me at 3 weeks post op for the full inflation, he said 30 days post op I should be good to resume sex.

Early inflation is one of the benefits of the infrapubic approach vs the penoscrotal.

I am taking it easy for now, laying in bed typing this with my ice bag in place! Saving a few pain pills for the big day too.

I am at day 11 post op things have been progressing well, I went back to work Monday, (I am an RN unit manager) for the last two days I have logged over 3 miles a day on the unit. Needless to say that has dialed my discomfort back up, I think that is a bit too active for just being back, I have been able to manage with ibuprofen and ice but I am going to dial it way back for the rest of the week.

I am able to grab and gently pull down on my pump as instructed without the sharp burning pain I had last week. I have been wearing regular boxer briefs since day 2 post op since I was told no longer wear the jock strap i woke up with post op. I was told not to wear anything with too much scrotal support so that things hang natural while the pump heals into place. I do think I will be wearing the recommended International Jock underwear for the rest of the week to try to improve comfort.
