Worried about the recovery period of scrotoplasty surgery?
Wondering how long you’ll be out of action for?
Find out now how long you will need off for your scrotoplasty surgery, today.
Time off work has to come out of my holiday, how long will I need to book off?
As will all surgery, clinics can give general guidelines about recovery periods, but you should be aware that every case is likely to be different. As such, it is important that you discuss the implications of your surgery with your urologist before you speak to your boss about time off.
Generally, you will require 1 week off from work until you can go back to work, especially if you have an office-based job or similar.
If you have a very active or strenuous job, however, including moving and lifting heavy weights or any aspect of construction work, you may find you might need longer. This gives your body the best chance at healing properly from your scrotoplasty surgery, which will stop any problems including irritating or re-opening surgery sites.
Discussing your job with your chosen urologist is the best way to get a more personal, individual answer about how long you might need off from work.
Do I have to inform my employer about my upcoming scrotoplasty surgery?
Although it may not be a comfortable conversation, your employee should be informed of any surgeries before your operation. This is not because they are nosy, but because they have a Duty of Care under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 for all of their employees.
This Act places a legal duty on employers to ensure, so far as reasonably practicable, the health, safety, and welfare of employees, and to ensure that employees and others are kept safe.
That does not necessarily mean that you need to tell them the ins and outs, however. As a minimum, it is strongly encouraged that you inform your employer of the following:
- Whether the procedure is medically advised, cosmetic, or both.
- When your procedure will go ahead.
- How long you will need away from work to recover?
- How your ability to complete your day-to-day duties will be impacted upon your return and if you will need any extra help or amendments to your role- and if so, by how much/ what that might look like?
Honestly is the best policy and although you might be nervous about sharing such personal information, by doing so, you are likely making your return to work much easier.
