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.
