When I was in the military a friend got this done. Major infection causing things to swell to the size of a softball.
Apparently it was quite painful.
I had mine done in December of 1991. I ws told to stay in bed for 4 days and use an ice bag often. I followed the instructions and had no problem.
I know a fellow who left the doctors office and started a round of golf. About the fifth hole he had to be helped off the course and got himself admitted for a two-day stay in the hospital.
It’s minor surgery if you follow the instructions. If you decide you know better than someone who actually graduated from medical school, bad things can happen. Since it was my genitals we were discussing, I decided to pay attention.
He came back laughing--said he'd had a ball--made lots of puns on that word: "You have to be on the ball." “You tell him to stand on the balls of his feet.” “You hold the ball like this.” That sort of thing.
Several months later, I found myself at the same facility having lunch. The rather humorless urologist sitting next to me happened to be the one who had taught the orthopedist.
When I discovered this, I recalled the jokes he had made--all the puns on the word ball--many of which I couldn't remember. I couldn't help laughing uproariously.
Then I noticed that the urologist wasn't laughing.
So to change the subject I said: "What did you say your name was?"
He replied coldly: "Dr. Ball."
Later I made the mistake of telling the orthopedist about this.
He wasn't amused either.
