Bruising after vasectomy
Apr 10th 2009adminPost vasectomy bruising pictures
Good evening,
I had a vasectomy performed under local anesthetic on Tuesday 3rd March 2009. The photo below shows the scrotum on day 3 post procedure: (Note: My thumb is covering my penis in this photo. You can see the scar from the procedure in the upper right corner of my scrotum)
The second photo (below) shows the scrotum on day 5 of recovery:
I would like to ask a question if I may:- Is the amount of bruising something I should be worried about?
These pictures represent some greater than expected bruising after vasectomy. The bruising extends to the base of the penis and across both hemiscrotal areas. There seems to be minimal swelling which would suggest that the bruising is due to some bleeding in the skin layer and not a hematoma in the scrotum. The second picture demonstrates one of the incision sites that appears to be healing appropriately.
The following pictures have been sent in as updates:-
