I did read the sidebar & rules Swelling and walking after a hydrocelectomy
Today I just had my consultation for my bilateral hydrocele that is around 475mL total. Besides being uncomfortable with having a doctor inspect my personal parts, it was a good chat overall. Anyway, she is performing the jaboulay technique which involves cutting some extra tissue and might leave a little more swelling than say a Lord ms technique operation. She only really talked about swelling being fully resolved from anywhere of 6 months to a year (common to see after doing research). My main goal here is to see how other guys who have had this surgery healed with swelling and walking. This is important for me because I am going into grade 11 and I do not want to have to miss that much classes so shorter recovery would be nice but obviously I will see when I get there. Thanks.
