Surgery recovery morning routine – penis visible here and there (bad blurring)

Post-surgery recovery routine (my morning routine after hernia surgery, 18+)

Original was uploaded on 2026-02-04

Posting this for others who may be getting hernia surgery soon, or recovering. I’m on day 4 (robotic inguinal, bilateral) and this is my morning routine. Note that due to pain of clothing on and around the incisions, my recovery days have been spent nude or wearing the testicle support strap, so much of this video is NSFW. I attempted to blur where I could, but the free app I found is hard to use. Not worrying about censoring my rear – everyone at the hospital saw that and more anyway! My routine:

1. Wake up, look at healing progress of scars
2. Put on “athletic support strap” because of testicular swelling/pain
3. Ice my scars
4. Clean the house a bit (slowly moving and bending down is hard, but good for recovery/mobility)
5. Attempt to use bathroom with stool softner (painful, but helpful)
6. Shower and pat dry (do not rub) the scars.

I orinally took a few videos for myself to be able to see the healing process and because I’m fascinated by how I appear now. I was going to keep these for myself but felt comfortable putting at least one edited version out there for anyone curious. Between the scars, bloating belly from insufflation and shaved stomach and pubic area, I feel very different in my body.

I had my surgery four days ago, and here’s how it’s looking around the scars. Not nearly as bad as I thought, and recovery has been OK with pain meds. Slight bruising and sore to the touch. Mostly only hurts when I bend over, get in/out of bed or cough. I’ve been able to walk around the block a few times. Also feeling and looking bloated still, but it’s getting better. I feel a bit funny with how shaved I am though! Hope this helps others getting or recovering from this surgery feel better overall.
