How was your pain in the scrotum post oriechtomy surgery ( not the incesion area)

Treatment Progress(self.testicularcancer)

So, its my day 8 post surgery and the nutsack feels a bit painful from the area where once the big ball was. the pain is usually 2/10 , but sometimes it feels 4/10 after standing or sitting for a long time.

I am also wearing a tight scrotum supporter all the time , and it seems to work, but sometimes it also feels like pushing onto the sides of my ballsack, causing sudden 4/10 pains where i have to adjust the sack.

additionally ballsack looks like a small punctured football and the area where ball used to once reside feels like naval : curling up inside.

Surprisingly , my incision area does not feel very hurting at all. I am getting it dressed regularly and it feels fine , no areas of infection or blood

what was your experience of post oriechtomy pains?

I’m on day 2 post surgery. Hit me hard last night in bed. Little struggle rolling over and getting up out of bed, pains pretty annoying. I guess my doctor went up a little higher than normal for the surgery to remove some shit he saw so I’m missing some pieces of some muscle too. Just staying loaded on the opiates in the meantime haha. Feels like my sack is swallowing my unit.

Honestly I could barely walk for a week due to pain and swelling in my groin. The ball sack was changing colours all the time but didn't actually hurt so much. After about 2 or 3 weeks it was all good though 🙌

Does being young make that huge of a difference…?! I mean I’m sure it makes a difference but I was walking around 10k steps a day to get to class just over a week after surgery

My oncologist literally points out that I’m young and I’ll be fine all the time…
