Are there any immediate or late post-procedure complications?
A. About 50% of the time, there will be some swelling of the penis and scrotum that will subside within 1-2 weeks. Some patients report a sensation of lower abdominal tightness due to fluid retention. Patients can also experience temporary urinary irritative symptoms like frequency, urgency and slow stream and occasional blood in the urine. Often, there will be some bruising in the genital and perineal (the space between the scrotum and anus) areas. All these problems are temporary and usually resolve within a couple of weeks after the procedure.
