7 Principles
Principles to Adhere to Following Surgery
- Keep the incision clean and dry for the first 48 hours. Change the dressing daily or when it becomes wet.
- Avoid soaking: Do not take baths, swim, or use hot tubs for at least 2 weeks after surgery.
- Keep the penis pointing upwards (towards the navel) during the first week to help the device stabilize and reduce swelling.
- Do not operate the device early; wait for instructions from your doctor, usually after 4–6 weeks.
Apply ice packs to the scrotum and penis for 15–20 minutes every hour for the first 48 hours to reduce swelling.
Elevate the scrotum when lying down to reduce swelling. Use pain medication as prescribed by your doctor.
Avoid strenuous activities for the first 5 days; do not lift anything heavier than 9 kg (20 lbs) for the first 2 weeks. Avoid positions that put pressure on the scrotum or penis. Gentle walking is encouraged to promote blood circulation.

Post-Operative Dietary Regimen
-
✅ Early Stage After Surgery (First 1–3 Days)
-
Start with a liquid and light diet: Clear broth, meat broth, thin porridge, toast, plain yogurt, pulp-free fruit juice.
-
Avoid difficult-to-digest foods: Limit fried, spicy, and fatty foods, as well as gas-producing foods like beans and cabbage.
-
Drink plenty of water: Maintain adequate hydration to support digestion and prevent constipation.
✅ Recovery Stage (From Day 4 Onward)
-
Return to a normal diet: When you feel better, you can eat as usual, prioritizing easily digestible foods.
-
Supplement with protein-rich foods: Lean meat, fish, eggs, tofu help regenerate tissues and restore the body.
-
Increase intake of vegetables and fruits: Provide essential vitamins and minerals for wound healing.
⚠️ Foods to Avoid
-
Alcoholic and caffeinated beverages: Alcohol, beer, and coffee can affect the recovery process and interact with medications.
-
Gas-producing foods: Beans, cabbage, onions can cause digestive discomfort.
-
Fast food and processed foods: Often contain high levels of salt and unhealthy fats.
⚠️⚠️⚠️ Important Notes
-
Eat small, frequent meals: Eating 5–6 small meals a day helps the digestive system function more efficiently.
-
Eat slowly and chew thoroughly: Helps reduce pressure on the digestive system and improves nutrient absorption.
-
Monitor your body’s reactions: If abnormal symptoms such as nausea or diarrhea occur, contact your doctor.
