6 weeks post surgery. Right testical swollen @ the end of the 2nd week.(4 times normal size) Doc visit- told to relax its normal and should start to go down in a week- it did, but at 4+ weeks since swelling it is still bigger than normal and semi sore.

Hi Michael.. Welcome!
I'm 3 mos post op and my scrotum was tripled in size and a deep purple much like it had been in a fight and lost.. It took me two weeks for it to start going down and lose it's color. We are all different in our healing.. Some faster, some slower that it would be hard to tell you what's "normal". If your doctor doesn't seem concerned and you continue to see improvement however slow, then that may be your normal. If it gets worse, of course, go see the doc.. I wear loose fitting pajama bottoms whenever possible..

Thanks Tdubb, your almost 8 weeks ahead of me on recover. I'm to the point that everthing i do i'm worried about damageing myself. I work in a very hands on labor intense field. The doctor says your body will tell you when its to much. If it talls me its to late. Oh well i'll get there what else can we do?

sorry to hear of this, sounds terrible.

I had open surgery, and never had to deal with the swollen testicle bit. hope it heals up fast for you from this point on.

Also, I just remembered something I either read on this forum or read in paperwork from doc.  Use a toilet paper cardboard roll to put under scrotum to elevate it when you are lying down.  I tried it once and it provided some relief.

I was willing to try anything..

Michael:

Not forgetting the "frozen bag of peas" rx. AUS implanted 3 weeks ago and still have perineal and lower scrotal pain, but I guess that's normal. Swelling much less now than immediately post-op.

Purg:

I am still relatively new here but have benefited from your posts. Thank you for contributing. You have a lot of friends on this forum.
