Post-Procedure:
1. Ice the scrotum intermittently for 24-48hrs. in 15-30 min. intervals.
2. A prescription for a mild narcotic painkiller will be written & you can take this every 4-6 hrs. as needed. Ibuprofen 400-600 mg. every 4-6 hrs. can be substituted.
3. You may shower the next day, no ejaculation for 1 week following procedure.
4. Call office for temperature >100.5, bleeding, or significant testicular swelling.
5. Expect some swelling & possibly bruising of the skin.
6. You can return to light duty in 2-3 days like sitting @ a desk. No strenuous activity for @ least a week.
7. There will be no impact on urinary function, no painful urination.
8. The source of sperm is blocked, the rest of the system is still "primed," & there’s a "washout" interval of weeks.
9. Plan to return @ 6 & 8 weeks after the procedure with a semen sample to be checked here to make sure there are no sperm. This should be collected not more than 1 hr. prior to delivery to office. Once 2 specimens without sperm you are considered sterile, but precautions should be taken until then as you are still potentially fertile.
