4 days ago I had cryotherapy to kill cancer in my prostate, 2 days after procedure my scrotum and base of penis are showing heavy bruising and some swelling, is this anything I should worry about ? Has anyone else had a similar experience ?

This is not uncommon after biopsies, due to the blood from internal bleeding during the procedure pooling to the lowest points before being broken down and re-absorbed. Might be worth letting your urology team know though. The relevant question is is it still bleeding, which would be concerning?

Not still bleeding , scrotum still swollen and bruised  but not getting any worse, been occasionally putting ice packs on it , from what I’ve read could take up to 3 to 5 weeks to go completely
