Weeks 1-5 Post Op Summary - What You Can Expect

Post Op Summary Weeks 1-5

Week 5 is when I’m noticing a dramatic reduction in pain, concern, and overall anxiety directly post op. Here’s what I’ve noticed the past few weeks:

Week 1: -Just like anything else, the 3rd day is the worst for most, the 1st was my worst. I was in immense pain directly post op, meds didn’t help and it was a rough day. I got cleared to go home day 3, also got my appetite back as well as the drain removed. This week consisted of tons of rest and pain moderation along with frequent back to back emails to the office.

Week 2: -I experienced some extreme soreness around the incision site. Erections were very painful, and woke me up about 2-3 times a night. I noticed a bump behind the head of my penis that was a loose suture. My incision was reopened after the removal of the sutures in which I was on antibiotics for the next couple of weeks to prevent infection.

Week 3: -erection pain began to subside, and with that my desire for sexual activity increased dramatically. I had one concerning complication which shooting pain on the right side of my penis so painful I called their emergency number. They assured it were the nerves restoring. This was my peak of concerns as I had a reopened incision site, loose suture, and shooting pain. Week 2 and 3 were definitely the most stressful periods of time for me. Overall, this week I was more sore

Week 4: -Week 2 and 3 were extremely difficult to restrain from sexual activity. I know doctor Elist says no stimulation whatsoever, but going this long without any sexual activity will get your dick hard for anything, a slight brush against the pants, thoughts of sexual fantasies, hell every hole I saw gave me an erection. So erections were constant. By the middle of week 4 sexual cravings started to diminish and soreness was gone completely. At the end of week 4 I started to feel more relaxed with the surgery as my wound started to heal, suture is back in place,

Week 5: -I am able to do light upper body activity noticed a slight increase in flaccid length and have been double wrapping my penis the majority of the day besides when I sleep, and shower to keep the sutures in place firmly as I had a slight scare before. Erections are no longer painful and sexual cravings are gone (which fucking sucks). The top of my head is hypersensitive instead of numb and I am beginning to regain feeling on the top of my shaft. Now, post op care consists of moderating my swelling and continuing with my weekly updated consulting the office. Looking forward to more gains in the future as the immediate gains are fucking awesome not to mention the slight increase in length I’ve noticed at week 5.

After week 6 I will be doing an update every 2 weeks as far as the healing process and gains are going to minimize frequency as the first 6 weeks are the most important💪🏻

P.S. -There is a possibility of complications minor and major. This is my testimonial and others experiences obviously differ on a wide spectrum. I’d consider my recovery average as far as complications and overall anxiety go post operation.
