Had my operation yesterday (
Took a couple of paracetamol before the op.
125 ml of fluid taken out. Came round in recovery room about hour or so later. Felt fine but was loaded with local anaesthetic
Walked a bit gingerly to the car
Went straight up to bed just taking paracetamol every 4 hours
Had a few twinges of shooting pain that takes your breathe away but nothing really unbearable
I dropped off to sleep about 11 o'clock woke up at 3 for the biggest wee ever known to man
Fell back to sleep and woke up at 7
Still taking paracetamol and antibiotics but so far so good.
How some of the people on here go for years with these things is baffling.
Any questions please feel free to ask
how long does it take you to fully recover? what does the doctor say?
They've given me 5 days antibiotics
They reckon 10 days for stitches to dissolve
Never told me to use ice so I haven't.
I still haven't looked at the incision yet
But got a lovely bruise on my c**k this morning
how long does it take you to fully recover? what does the doctor say?
They reckon about 4 days
Just been in the shower and let the pads fall off when they got wet rather than pull them off.
Bit of blood but nothing from incision site.
It did hurt a bit when water hit the cut but nothing to moan about.
I'm still taking paracetamol just 1 but only as a precaution
Going to try and have a walk today
For me its began around january this year, I have seen my left testicle started growing. I was in panic so gone see my Doctor, the terrible news was I have a tumor on my left kidney. Probably that is the reason why the hydrocele Operation is done, it was chromophobe Renal cell cancer, rare thing. I am 39. Have to work etc. However, operation was in 28 March so I' m doing fine I guess, need to go check ups every 6 months. Now Im facing to the hydrocele op. thats what I have to get it done ow. Do you think 2 weeks enough to recover from the surgery? Thanks, Rob
how ya doing after 3 days?
I'm feeling fine although I have just driven back from Nottingham which is about 15 mile away from my house and it feels like someone is trying to pull my right leg off. I think it is the muscle in the right side of my groin
It is the same feeling that I got before the operation. But only when I sit down.
If it Carry's on like this when the swelling has gone down then I'm going to go back to the doctor and ask wtf is going on.
Don't be scared of the operation. I was petrified at the thought of it but now having it done it wasn't that much of a big deal.
I got a splinter in my finger the other day that hurt more, it all depends on your pain threshold I guess
Just make sure you go home and go straight to bed for a couple of days and do what the doctors say. Don't forget they've probably done hundreds of these operations
Day 6. Left the support off for a bit today, decided that was a bad idea so I put it back on again
Some of the bruising is disappearing now and the incision is healing nicely.
Just getting the occasional itch as it heals but no pain
Right testicle still looks the same size as it was before but I shone a light through it just to check and nothing there so it must just be the swelling
Just got to wait till that goes down and hope everything is back to normal
Day 14
All of the bruising has gone
There is some swelling round the stitches otherwise everything looks back to normal
just wondering how long it took other people's to dissolve
They said 10 days
