Post-op edema or swelling
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?

Getting clear answers from my surgeon is like hoping for peace in the middle east ...lol ... quote un quote .."lots of hot showers 2 or 3 times a day the swelling should go down. I asked when, he glanced at the computer screen shrugged his shoulders and that was that ..

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

Re: Post-op edema or swelling
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.
Re: Post-op edema or swelling
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.

49. Implanted 5/21/2024 at Kaiser SSF. AMS 700 CX 21cm, 3cm RTE. Penoscrotal. Venous leak my whole life. Pills helped, but hated the side effects; worked less as I aged. Skipped injections. Grateful to bionic brotherhood that helped me make this decision.

6 weeks is nice.
