Immediate Aftercare
Expect Mild Swelling or Bruising: Some mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising in the treatment area is normal and should resolve within a few days.
Avoid Touching or Scratching: Refrain from touching, scratching, or putting pressure on the area to prevent irritation or infection.
Activity Restrictions
Avoid Sexual Activity for 48 Hours: To allow for proper healing, refrain from sexual activity, including masturbation, for at least 48 hours following the procedure.
Limit Strenuous Exercise: Avoid intense physical activities or exercises that engage the pelvic area for 24–48 hours to prevent discomfort and support healing.
Hygiene and Care
Keep the Area Clean: Use a gentle, unscented cleanser, and avoid applying any chemical products or harsh soaps around the treatment area for the first few days.
Avoid Hot Tubs or Pools: To reduce the risk of infection, avoid hot tubs, pools, or any communal water sources for at least 48 hours.
Managing Discomfort
Over-the-Counter Pain Relief: If you feel mild soreness, you may take acetaminophen (if approved by your provider). Avoid NSAIDs like ibuprofen in the first 48 hours, as they may interfere with the healing process.
Cold Compress (if needed): A cold compress can help reduce any swelling or discomfort, but avoid placing ice directly on the skin.
Monitor for Potential Side Effects
Mild Side Effects (Normal): Slight bruising, swelling, and sensitivity are typical and usually resolve within a few days.
Alert for Unusual Symptoms: Contact your healthcare provider if you experience symptoms like intense pain, spreading redness, fever, discharge, or prolonged swelling, as these could indicate an infection or adverse reaction.
Post-Treatment Exercises (if recommended)
Follow Provider’s Instructions for Exercises: Your provider may recommend a vacuum pump or gentle exercises to enhance blood flow and support treatment effects. Follow any specific guidance for frequency and timing.
Expect Gradual Results
Allow Time for Full Results: Improvements in sensitivity, firmness, and overall sexual function may take a few weeks to fully develop, as the PRP stimulates tissue growth and regeneration over time.
Follow-Up and Maintenance
Schedule Follow-Up Sessions as Recommended: Some providers recommend multiple sessions for optimal results. Attend follow-ups and adhere to your provider’s guidance for maintenance.
Contact Your Provider if Needed
Report Any Concerns Promptly: If you experience any prolonged or unusual symptoms, reach out to your provider for guidance.
