When am I able to go back to my normal activities after getting testosterone pellets?
We suggest avoiding vigorous physical activity for the first two days, especially low body workouts, to allow the skin to heal and close preventing extrusion or the working out of the pellet. We have seen that early physical activity is the major cause of extrusion. We also to suggest not swimming, taking a bath or hot tub for 2-3 days after implantation to avoid possible infections. Showering is allowed. Upper body and low impact exercises are acceptable in 24 hours after implantation.
Antibiotics are typically not prescribed because the procedure is done under sterile conditions and infection rates are low. However, antibiotics may be prescribed if a patient has a chronic inflammation of the hair follicles called folliculitis, diabetes, a valve replacement, or joint replacement.
