Dh has agreed to this thankfully and the GP has referred him. Please could anyone tell me their partners' experiences? Was one day off work enough?

My dh was only off for one day and he does a physically demanding job. He said there was more discomfort from the stitches than the actual op

Think dh had his on a friday so he had the weekend to recover. You dont need a week. Remember close fitting pants for after.

My DH had the week off but he could've gone back after one day, the sticky tape on the hair of his legs hurt him more than anything!

Friend of mine said he wished he had heeded the warning to rest and not lift heavy things the day after it was done as he came out in massive bruising and delayed healing. Other than that he said it was fine. DP is booking appointment this week.

Dh is a builder and needed three days off. Absolutely fine after that. It's been wonderful, the unexpected side effect of my not taking hormonal contraceptives is that it turns out I have a sex drive! Dh has never been happier BlushWinkShock
