Did you have a swollen scrotum after prostate surgery?

Two years ago I had a RALP done and my penis and testicles both swelled up a lot and turned severely black and blue in the first week. I had been told to expect this so I didn't panic. But it was not pretty. It all went away fairly quickly in another week or so. And my wife felt worse than I did because she thought it implied pain, but it was only uncomfortable. The swelling was a side effect of blood pooling after the surgery; it was not caused by direct bruising.

His scrotum is no longer black and blue but it is still swollen…did you have your lymph nodes removed? Did having your catheter remove help with the swelling??? Or did it not make much of a difference?
