J'ai subi une vasectomie il y a 3,5 jours, tout semblait bien jusqu'à ce matin, lorsque j'ai eu des douleurs supplémentaires, puis ce soir, les deux testicules semblaient avoir gonflé, disons beaucoup. Je n'avais pas de gonflement avant, est-ce normal ?
Swelling is perfectly normal at this stage.
Swelling to double size is painful but can happen, if slight swelling then it should die down soon.
If swelling hits apple size or bigger then get to an a&e dept or surgery if during GP hours.
If you're concerned in any way at all then contact GP (if done in surgery by GPwSI) or the hospital where you had it performed.
Swelling can be caused by procedure itself, and that can game a few days to occur sometimes or it can be caused by infection requiring antibiotics to resolve. If testicles are swollen, red and hot to touch it's probably mild infection based.
Early days yet so don't be too alarmed although trust said just keep an eye on things.
Ibuprofen and paracetamol are good for swelling and pain relief. Alternate the dose though to ensure max long relief. That is to say ibuprofen then 2 hrs later paracetamol then two after that back to brufen and keep it going that way.
Take care

D'accord, merci, je suppose que la douleur avec le gonflement est normale aussi, la douleur semble provenir de presque sous les testicules. Beaucoup d'inconfort
Yep, if an area is swollen you can expect ity to be painful sadly,
Given a testicle is only supposed to be X size whenb it moves beyond that size the pressure put on the outher surface is immense and in turn your body will let you know it hurts.
Pain referral is horrible as you know the pain is in place A yet place B which wasn't touched hurts..normal(ish) as the pain will befelt where the nerves fire off the signal kind of thing
Mise à jour, j'ai été traité pour une infection, j'ai une nouvelle question, le gonflement a considérablement diminué, ce matin j'ai éjaculé (sachant que ce n'était pas le moment le plus sensé, mais cela s'est produit) et mes testicules ont gonflé presque instantanément, cela serait-il dû à trop d'activité ?
No idea on that front sorry :-(
Hopefully sometime else might have answer for you.
It could be just coincidence it happened just after ejaculation as swelling can occur at any time without notice
Cheers
