Training after the snip

Try running home from the op!

Seriously, I nearly had the snip a while back, and I think some others on here have had. I asked the doc and she said a couple of weeks if you're carefull.

Yes agree, had it done 6 years ago( so you all know now) didn't run then but played football, was out only for 2 weeks, would think running would be a lttle less, Cycling though thats another story rather you then me. its tender for a while the smell is the worst..... that sort of singe smell never goes away ever ever ever.

Hi Grober

I asked a very similar question pre-snip myself. I was 'done' back in September. Me personally I had 3 weeks off (only as I got bashed down below in the 2nd week - ouch) but like RDR said 2 weeks will probably be ok. Rule of thumb I suppose is, run when you feel ok to do so. My 1st run back was a very gentle 2 miler (more psychologically than physically.) Obey your crown jewels- I'm sure they'll let you know if they are sore!! and buy some new tight fitting undercrackers to be on the safe side. BTW, I think I've had more pain going to the dentists  (admittedly you do get a dull ache for a few days) so don't be too concerned about the op.

Bollox again?......

I played Rugby the week after mine, although, I did have my little plums well and truly wrapped up and snug!....I would say 2 weeks is plenty as long as you wear tight panties!.......I had a reversal btw about 6 years ago (for anyone who is worried as to how permanent it really is), and 3 days after I  fell off a ladder doing some DIY stuff. I got a haematoma in my sack which was about 3 times the size of my nuts!...(that's Testiclay for you French)!.....That really hurt!..~

I had the op last Easter and was able to return to work 2 days later. (Albiet I was a bit slow getting up and down off my chair !)  I did try running a couple of weeks afterwards - it felt a bit tender so I recommend that you take it very gentle on your first couple of runs... Set off with the intention of only doing 1 or 2 miles, but be prepared to only go round the block if it starts to hurt !  Have you considered getting Arnica tablets to reduce the bruising ?  I successfully avoided bruising by using them after the snip (plus lots of ibroprofen !)  You can get Arnica over the counter at Boots.

Definitely go for the tight pants option, you really don`t want too much jiggling about going on down there. I would agree with the 2 weeks but then everyone heals differently. I wish I`d gone down the arnica route, with the swelling and the bruising I thought I was gonna turn into Linford Christie!! Unfortunately back to normal after a couple of weeks

Hi

I had my chop on my birthday 2 years ago. Bloody sore, don't care what people tell ya. Agony.

But after a week it was fine, haven't felt anything since! lol....

Thanks for all the replies, seems like some people have an easier time thn others, Thanks for the advice, tight pants?, I was thinking of wrapping them in cotton wool!

I will lool out for arnica.

 Smell?? smell? really? I have no clue, I thought it was meant to be straight forward and not hurt. How wrong was i!

Lizzie!!!???,,,we are talking about a man's Crown Jewels here?....The 2 Veg, the Bad Boys, the Plums!...No sentence on Earth ever should include the words straight forward when a surgeon is coming at your knackers with a Scalpel and a look of condescension on his face???.....

Edit,,,not to mention the bloody soldering iron!!....

Ok point taken sorry, but smell????

You assume the surgeon is a fella Flanks......big mistake! I've snipped a few in my time

Anyway better to be a bit singed than exsanguinate through your nether regions  isn't it??
