Penile implant surgery is an invasive surgery and it takes around six weeks to fully recover from this particular procedure.
In the immediate aftermath of surgery, you will need to take prescription painkillers and sometimes an injection will be given to the scrotum to ease pain for 48 to 72 hours. It is normal for mild pain to persist for a number of weeks after surgery. You may also be prescribed antibiotics.
After surgery, you will be given instructions on how to care for the surgical site and how to use your penile implant. In the three to six weeks after surgery you will be advised to inflate and deflate your penile implant to practice using them and stretch the area surrounding the cylinders.
Depending on the type of job you do and the type of implant that you have, you may be able to return to work a few days after your penile implant surgery.
Strenuous physical activity and sexual activity can usually be resumed between four and six weeks post surgery.
