Right after my RARP my penis shrunk and my scrotum swelled to about 3-4 times. After the cath came out my scrotum quickly returned to normal and my penis has returned to almost normal size. But I have some extra skin now and like almost everyone that has posted I look uncut. For me it's not a big deal. I have noticed that this changes throughout the day.

yup My penis got much wider and the extra shaft skin loose and fleshy hangs over my glans, my scrotum never swelled, my testicles shrank to a big marble and my scrotum is long loose and fleshy, I call it 3P " post prostatectomy penis" I've never seen anyone else's penis and scrotum to compare, might be more or less pronounced

Those are great news Jay ! Try to remember that you are "fresh off the surgery table" ;), and that "things" will need many weeks to settle down, heal connect and reconnect ; ). There is probably still a lot of swelling inside the body and things will continue to "rearrange" for a while, so it all can only get better and better as time passes.

It seems every body that has posted about penis and scrotum changes experience different looks , be honest, would anyone want to see what someone else's looks like to compare , and feel better about your self image, images cant be posted here, but personal email can be used, its difficult explaining to my doctor about what it was like and what other people have encountered and will my changes change or be worse as I go along
