4 Weeks post op
Had a snip snip through Kaiser roughly 4 weeks ago.
Got cauterized and the doc said he removed extra lengths of tube to avoid recanalization
I didnt ice or take anything outside of reg strength Tylenol. I had some pretty bad kicked in the nuts aching for about 4 days but it was manageable.
Things I did to help mitigate pain:
Walk about 50% speed
Climb the stairs sideways
Bought before the surgery underwear that was 1 size below what I normally wear (compression and athletic briefs)
Eat a ton of food and drink plenty water/electrolytes
Keep a 6 ft pole to bat women away from you.
Sleep with a thick pillow between your legs (I cant sleep on my back, or rather I end up rolling on my side)
Things I did that made it worse:
I played the skin flute in the first week since I was feeling no pain and definitely agitated one of my incision sites. I could have qualified at a marksmanship tournament with that shot. I had no blood in the shot and no discomfort in the nuts, but I also took it very slow and focused as far away from the nuts as possible.
Worked out too soon. I am a glutton for exercise and I love to jump rope, which is a no no no no no (dont do it)
Now:
I am completely healed, even my irritated incision site is just a pink scar.
Ive been able to jerk off and have sex at the same extremes as I did pre-op and I am happy to report no discomfort, pain, or complications, physical or psychological.
Worth it 100%
