The Dr. will give you two perscriptions...one for pain pills and one for antibiotics. There is a Walgreens about five minutes from his office. I stayed overnight and used an icebag to reduce the swelling and flew home to Calif. the next day. Only took the pain pills for 3 days. However, I took all of the antibiotics as perscriped. Totally satisfied wht the doctor and the procedure. Sorry I didn't have it done sooner.
Not on HRT>.
Similar to my experience regreen13. I took the full course of the anti-bacterial (cephalexin) to guard against any urological infection but because I experienced no pain post-op, the painkillers (hydrocodone) were not taken (they can also cause constipation). Be aware that the Walgreens store next door to the clinic may be open but the pharmacy inside has different opening times (I had to return 2 hours later to pick up the prescription). Make sure you have purchased a jock strap/athletic support before surgery (not on sale in Walgreens) and purchase plenty of sterile gauze pads and anti-biotic pain relief cream (Neosporin) for the incision healing.
Get a room close to an ice making machine if possible so you can replenish the icepacks applied to the scrotum regularly.
