It’s sensible to take it easy for the next couple of days, but you can drive and go back to work as soon as you feel able.
For as long as you need, wear close-fitting underwear, such as a jock strap, day and night. This will support your scrotum and help to ease any discomfort and swelling.
Don’t do any heavy lifting or vigorous exercise during the first week after the operation.
You can bathe and shower but you should dry the area gently and thoroughly.
You can have sex as soon as you feel comfortable. However, you will not know whether you are producing sperm when you ejaculate until your doctor has checked a sample of semen. This is usually done around two months after surgery.6
