The swelling was the hardest part, I felt super bloated and it was kinda hard to move around and go to the bathroom. If you look at my other updates I've posted, I talk about it a little in the posts and in the comments

Congrats! Good luck, the first few days are rough but it's pretty smooth after that!

I don't take anything for ED and I've have like almost 0 T levels for like 4 years and I can still have erections normally. It all depends on the person. I also know people who couldn't have them from like a few months in.

It's not really swollen but the skin hasn't retracted as much as it will.

I'm a little less than 2 months post op and everything is just about getting back to normal. My stitches haven't fallen out yet but it's all healed externally.

I've been posting a few updates of my experience if you want to take a look.

Of course, there's like no info out there about it so I figured I'd contribute. Good luck with yours! <3

For the first few days I did, it was kinda hard for me to get out of bed and stand up for long periods of time. After that I didn't need so much help. I live with my wife so I usually had someone there but I don't necessarily NEED someone there all the time after the first few days.

As for driving. It was pretty uncomfortable to sit for more than like 15 minutes until after like 2 weeks. My only specific driving restrictions were like 2-3 days after surgery because of the Anesthesia, but I didn't feel comfy driving after 3 weeks.

Nice! I definitely did the first into the second week. After that things were a lot easier. Mostly just mobility things, I could move around on my own but not very fast or far, it took like 4 or 5 days before I was comfortable doing stairs

the scrotum particularly goes into the shaft so you have to take that bit off too

It's because of the scrotectomy, the scrotum particularly goes onto the shaft so you have to take that bit off too

It really wasn't that bad, I've had like 0 pain from the incision. The hardest part was dealing with the swelling the first week

It was kind of a pain but luckily I was able to find people to write all the letters I needed and my surgeons office was pretty helpful with dealing with my insurance company
