Just relax. On the second day come back home to regular household activities. There are no objections to going back to work.

7. It is necessary to avoid excessive sexual stimulation for seven days. After that time, it is possible to return to sexual activity but please remember about applying another method of contraception until obtaining a negative result of the test for presence of spermatozoa in the sperm. In the time of the first several weeks, the sperm may have a slightly brownish color, this is the physiology after the performed procedure.

If necessary, it is possible to take a Pyralgina pill. Painkillers are recommended if the pain is persisting: Biseptol, Bactrim, Naproxen, Butapirazol. If the pain is strong you need stronger painkillers, it is necessary to call the outpatient clinic (see below) or visit the Family Doctor.
