Post-Vasectomy Care and Recovery
Getting a Vasectomy is Only Half the Battle
Once you make the decision to have a vasectomy, it's time to start thinking about post-surgery care. UFM briefs and boxer briefs are urologist-recommended for men recovering from various men's health conditions, with vasectomy recovery being one of the most common uses. UFM support underwear aids in recovery by providing support, breathability, and adjustability. Once you slip on your UFMs, you won’t have to worry about gravity pulling on your incisions or irritation at the surgical site.
Dr. Ronald Wheeler, a urologist who specializes in HIFU treatments for prostate cancer, sees UFM Underwear as an excellent option for all men. He says, “It is a sporty line of underwear with a dual purpose. The product allows my patients to look good and feel good when they are getting back in shape and rehabbing.”
Care Routine During Vasectomy Recovery
After your vasectomy surgery, following the instructions provided by your urologist is essential for a smooth recovery. Typically, doctors recommend the following after a vasectomy:
- Support your scrotum with tight-fitting underwear for a few days
- Apply ice packs for the first 48 hours
- Limit activity and avoid sexual activity for a week
- Apply antiseptic and gauze to the surgical site
Following your urologist’s recommendations helps ensure you heal quickly and properly after surgery.
In the past, vasectomy support was limited to briefs (which are tight-fitting) and jockstraps. Boxer briefs weren't considered an option because their lower panel doesn’t provide enough support for the scrotum. But with the invention of pouch underwear, men finally have a real solution for post-vasectomy recovery.
Scrotal Support Underwear Replaces the Jockstrap
Underwear For Men Offers Real Support
Previously, urologists had no choice but to recommend jockstraps to keep your manhood isolated and secure. However, jockstraps were often uncomfortable and did not provide the level of support men wanted. With Underwear For Men (UFM), you get all the advantages of a jockstrap, but with better construction and comfort. Urologists recommend UFM because the adjustable pouch offers the necessary support for post-surgical care. The drawstring allows you to adjust to your preference, but it’s gentle enough not to cause irritation. Whether you need complete isolation for recovery or are looking for more everyday comfort, UFMs offer a solution. UFM support underwear comes in briefs, 3-inch trunks, and 6- or 9-inch boxer briefs.
Brandon T. called UFMs "Better Than Advertised" and says, "I was looking for support after my vasectomy and stumbled across UFM. These are amazing! They keep everything in place with no chafing. Perfect support for working out, too. The drawstrings are genius."
Keep Gauze and Padding in Place
Thanks to consistent support that doesn’t quit or need constant adjustment, your UFM briefs or boxer briefs will hold gauze in place throughout the day. Once you pull the drawstring to your desired fit and tie it off, you are ready for the day. If your doctor recommends gauze and antibiotic ointment for the surgical site, UFM support underwear will hold everything in place without the need for readjustment. Our patented adjustable drawstring support pouch stays secure, ensuring comfort and stability throughout your recovery. UFM is especially useful during vasectomy recovery, as it keeps everything fully supported while the tapered leg on the boxer briefs prevents any ride-up.
Minimize Swelling During Vasectomy Recovery
Just like wrapping a sprained ankle to minimize swelling, wearing tight-fitting underwear after a vasectomy has the same effect. UFMs are tight enough to offer support but are also breathable and comfortable. The moisture-wicking polyester material ensures that you won’t experience any discomfort from sweat or odor during recovery. UFM support underwear gives you all the benefits of reduced swelling without feeling constrictive. After your recovery, you may even find yourself reaching for UFMs for everyday wear.
Underwear For Men - The Best Underwear After a Vasectomy
UFM Underwear was originally created for athletic use, but it’s now widely recommended for medical recovery and everyday support. Men wear our briefs and boxer briefs for sports, work, and medical conditions like incontinence, senior sag, and vasectomy recovery. Our US-patented and international-patents-pending adjustable pouch is gentle and customizes to your size. Both our 6-inch and 9-inch boxer briefs have a tapered design, ensuring they stay put on your leg. The product is sized according to your waist size, so you won’t be stuck with a one-size-fits-all pouch. Urologists highly recommend UFM for patients recovering from vasectomies, post-workout discomfort, senior sag, and other conditions. UFMs maintain their support through multiple washes, making them a reliable long-term solution.
