Post-operative instructions penis enlargement surgery

You Wound Care and Dressings

Your surgeon will provide individual instructions about wound care and dressing removal followingpenis enlargement surgery. These instructions should always take priority over general guidance.

Unless you have been advised otherwise:

• Remove the bandages and dressings three days after surgery, leaving the Steri-Strips in place.
• Avoid showering during the first five days. You can use wet towels to maintain personal hygiene while keeping the surgical area dry.
• If you have a foreskin, follow your surgeon's instructions regarding any dressing or tape beneath it.
• Once the dressing has been removed, avoid unnecessary touching or manipulation of the penis.

If you notice that the erections are uncomfortable after the surgery. This is normal at this stage. You will get erections and this is a good, as they help with the modelling of the penis, and promote healing. Be sure not to engage in sexual activity though for six weeks.

An appointment will be made for you with your Urologist for review. If you have any questions contact the Patient Care team.

 Physiotherapy and Penile Stretching

Some patients may be advised to undertake gentle penile stretching or other prescribed exercises following penis enlargement surgery. These are intended to support recovery and, where appropriate, help maintain the surgical result.

The timing and type of exercises will depend on the procedure performed and your individual recovery.

• Do not begin stretching or physiotherapy until your surgeon has confirmed that it is appropriate.
• Follow the specific instructions provided by your clinical team.
• Exercises should be gentle and should never cause significant pain, bleeding or wound disruption.
• Stop and contact the clinic if you experience unexpected pain, swelling, bleeding or other concerning symptoms.

Not every patient will require the same physiotherapy programme.

 Sexual Activity and Masturbation

You should avoid sexual activity and masturbation during the initial recovery period to allow the surgical tissues to heal.

For many patients, a period of approximately six weeks may be advised, but the appropriate timeframe depends on the procedure performed and individual healing.

• Do not resume sexual activity or masturbation until your surgeon has confirmed that it is safe to do so.
• Avoid activities that place pressure or tension on the healing area.
• If you experience pain, swelling or bleeding when resuming sexual activity, stop and contact the clinic.

Your surgeon will advise you when it is appropriate to return to normal sexual activity.

• A fever or feeling generally unwell.
