One week to go and scared...

[Rodsmen]

If you are afraid of infection, I would assume that your pre-surgery instructions would include a shower at home before going in for surgery (unless you have an overnight in the hospital before surgery) using an anti-bacterial soap, either which the doctor/hospital has provided or something like Dial. That should prevent you from bringing anything in from home.
Keep us posted.

Yes, the pre-surgery instructions are pretty extensive. I'm going to compile all the instructions and post them, as I think it would be valuable as it appears that some doctors do not adequately prepare men. For example, Dr. Mills has you use Hibiclens for 3 days before the surgery all around the area, and Listerine for a week before.

Best regards,

Think positive thoughts and follow your doctor's suggestions. I had no issues and went on a gay cruise 2 - 3 months later and trust me everything worked. Still sore but no Trimix, syringes, etc.

As it turned out, I got an infection following passing a 13.5mm kidney stone just days before my scheduled surgery. I am now at day 8 after having gotten the implant on 11/29/23. I think my recovery is going just fine for having had penoscrotal surgery, but I am very happy that I didn’t have the surgery a month before our cruise. We went on the cruise and I abused Trimix for the first time, knowing that it was the last time I would use it. It worked well enough to make for a very memorable last hurrah.
