Hydrocele Surgery Experiences
May 6, 2008 6:39 AM Subscribe
I recently had hydrocele surgery and I was wondering about the recovery period/curve of others who braved this surgery.
This is sort-of a follow up to this question as I see that there were some of us who were talking about getting the surgery. I had mine done almost two weeks ago, and according to my surgeon I'm recovering well, but I was interested in the experience of others. How quickly were you able to return to strenuous activities such as working out or sex? How was your hydrocele removed? Any other insights? (I guess we could compare hydrocele size, but that might put off the squeamish!)
There isn't a huge amount of information on this on the net, and a lot of it involves this procedure for young boys, so I thought it would be interesting for those of us unlucky enough to have had this procedure done as adults to compare notes.

It was annoying for a while to have to wear gauze around my crotch, it was done under general anasthesia. The only side effect is that my testicle is more sensitive to being fondled.
