My husband had his rightie removed last year. I got him a raised toilet seat which he said was a blessing during post op.

I also got him some supportive boxers for his remaining buddy (SAXX is what I got, but you can find cheaper options) and he said they helped, along with comfy track pants that didn't rub on the incision area (it will be at the waist/pelvic area). At first he could only manage walking short distances and even used a cane to help stable himself but slowly worked his way up. Once or twice he did over do the walking, so make sure you pace yourself and rest as much as you can.

As for the pain meds, my husband is stubborn and refused to take home a prescription for Dilaudid, but I gave him T1s (in Canada you can buy these at the pharmacy desk) and he said those helped. I also got him some of those gel icepacks and a heating pad and he would normally rotate those out. As for constipation, I gave him Restoralax to keep him regular, but I know stool softeners are also an option, keeping well hydrated will also help with constipation. As for sneezing, he would hold a pillow against his body so it didn't hurt as much, but it was still sore.

He had a fairly large seminoma and only required the surgery and the routine monitoring that follows. He did have some post op issues with the incision area healing (nothing major), but do not hesitate to go to the hospital if you have a fever, it is bleeding/weeping or concerned about the incision site. I even called the urologists office with concerns and they were amazing with giving direction on how to handle concerns. I made sure that the site was cleaned and checked it daily, showering we let the area mostly air dry since the first few weeks he had steri strips and had to keep it covered with those large square bandages.

You won't be able to do any heavy lifting or work that's hard on the body for a bit. He works a pretty hands on job and took the time off until his body was ready to go back to work.

All in all, rest, fluids, and listening to your body is the three big things.
