Two weeks and nearly three days now, since the op.
Suddenly, last night (Friday evening), whilst doing the nightly dabbing of lavender oil (very good antiseptic properties) onto the stitches of the two incisions, both stitches from the left incision fell away to reveal nicely healed skin. With a little gentle probing, one stitch came away from the right incision, too, along with a very tiny amount of blood seepage. I think this blood was due to the stitch catching the skin whenever it was jostled by underwear. The black scab remained on the right incision, however, until just now, when it dropped off, along with the final stitch. Everything looks nicely healed now, with no seepage at all.
Last night, I also finally abandoned my underpants at bedtime, and had a good night's sleep without any support at all. In fact this had an extra comfort bonus, since the re-growing hairs on my scrotum have reached the "long stubble" stage, and therefore keep catching in the fabric of my underpants, which can result in a painful prickling at times! I was told the regrowing hairs was an annoyance everyone has to put up with, but wasn't prepared for just *how* uncomfortable this otherwise minor factor can be!
Meanwhile the occasional bout of achey balls continues to linger, along with one or two sharp twinges. But on the whole, I *think* everything's progressing nicely.
