The first week at home

The first week:

• Day 1–2: some aching and bruising. Take paracetamol and ibuprofen. Wear supportive underwear.
• Day 3–4: the bruise spreads down into the scrotum and onto the thigh. This looks bad but it is normal.
• Day 5–7: most men feel a lot better. You can go back to a desk job. Don't drive for the first two days.

Call us if you have a fever, pus from the cut, or sudden severe pain.
