Got the procedure done 5 days ago now and want to share my lessons learned along the way.

Do ice every 20 minutes on and 40-60 minutes off like clockwork the first few days. This greatly reduces inflammation overall. Do buy supportive underwear early on, I didn’t until the 4th day and regretted every day I didn’t do it sooner. After your done and healed just throw them away.

Not a doctor. Do take ibuprofen for the first two to three days but stop after the 4th. Since ibuprofen thins your blood it reduces inflammation but also can develop a hematoma or more bruising.

I had one single incision for my procedure and found that some clinics don’t do the two dot and laser treatments if they are not setup for it. Shop around and find one that does. I’ve got a really odd scar forming and wish I would have looked for a clinic that does that since my insurance covered it.

Question for all of you, sitting still it doesn’t hurt at all but when or if I’m laying down and then get out of bed or stand up it hurts and then resides after 20-30 seconds. Have you all had that at all? I’m planning on not the pipe clearing process until that kind of pain goes away.

Thanks all!
