We recommend that you take it easy during the first week after surgery. After the first week, you can resume light tasks. For jobs that involve more strenuous activities, we suggest waiting two weeks. Heavy physical activities, such as biking, swimming, or working out, are not allowed for four weeks after treatment. You may experience some pain due to swelling of the inner labia.
In the most extreme cases, there may be bruising. The area will be sensitive, but usually, a painkiller is sufficient to manage the discomfort. The area should be kept cool for the first three days after surgery. During the first week, rinse the area twice a day with water—do not use soap. Gently pat the area dry and avoid rubbing.
