PROCEDURE

Your recovery timeline

DAY OF
REST

  • Go home and rest flat in bed for the remainder of the day.

  • Avoid all activities and keep movement to a minimum.

  • Keep your supportive undershorts on, do not remove them.

  • Ice packs are optional; use them only if you find them soothing.

  • Most men experience only mild discomfort, typically in the groin or lower abdomen, and often don’t need pain medication.

  • If needed, you may take acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), or naproxen (Aleve) for relief.

DAY AFTER
RESET

  • Starting the morning after your procedure, you may take a daily shower.

  • Wear supportive underwear that keeps the scrotum elevated for one week.

  • Take it easy.  Walking and driving are fine, but avoid strenuous activities.

  • No sports, yard work, swimming, or heavy lifting over 30 pounds.

  • If you have a sedentary job (office work or supervisory role), you may return to work.

INTIMACY
>1 WEEK AFTER

  • Wait at least 2 days and ensure you are free from discomfort or tenderness before engaging in sexual activity.

  • This approach has been effective for Vasectomy Pro patients. However, the American Urological Association's Vasectomy Guidelines recommend waiting one week, as ejaculating too soon may lead to prolonged discomfort.

3 DAYS AFTER
RESUME

  • Gradually resume your daily activities and wait until you feel perfect before returning to the gym or running.

  • Continue to wear scrotal supportive underwear, especially when you start exercising again.

  • Take 600 mg of ibuprofen every 8 hours if you have any lingering discomfort.

  • Cut your usual weights, reps, speed, and distance in half during your first workout back.

  • Return to your full routine the next day if you experience no pain after your half-workout.

  • Feel free to swim in either fresh or salt water.
