Pre and Post procedure care: Your recovery guide

At Moorgate Andrology, we understand that most patients focus on the results of their procedure — but successful outcomes also depend on a smooth and well-managed recovery. Whether you’ve had surgery or a non-surgical treatment, careful post-procedure care is vital.

Below, we outline essential advice to help you plan ahead and recover comfortably.

1. Follow Your Specialist’s Instructions

Always follow the post-procedure guidance given by your Urologist. Each patient heals differently, so pay close attention to any advice that’s specific to your treatment.
If you’re unsure about anything, contact our patient care team for clarification.

2. Attend All Follow-Up Appointments

Follow-up visits allow your Specialist to monitor your healing and spot any early complications.
Even if you feel well, don’t skip appointments — remote check-ins can often be arranged if you can’t attend in person.

3. Watch for Signs of Infection

Although infection after genital surgery is uncommon, it’s essential to remain vigilant.
Contact our team immediately if you notice redness, swelling, or discharge.
Take your full course of antibiotics and keep the treatment area clean and dry.

4. Stay Active but Take It Easy

After surgery or fillers, rest is important — but so is light movement. Avoid heavy lifting, the gym, and sexual activity for the period recommended by your Specialist (usually 4–6 weeks).

Tip: Gentle walking helps blood flow and promotes faster recovery.

5. Manage Pain and Discomfort

It’s normal to feel some discomfort in the days following your procedure. Take prescribed pain relief as directed.
If pain persists or feels excessive, contact your Urologist so adjustments can be made to your medication.

6. Focus on Mental and Emotional Recovery

Physical healing is only part of recovery. It’s natural to experience temporary mood changes or anxiety, especially while waiting for swelling to subside.
Plan light, enjoyable activities and reach out to our support team if you need reassurance.
