First of all, he ought to discuss this with his urologist. This person will have intimate knowledge of what and how this procedure was done in his case.
I would expect some pain for 1-2 weeks, but I would expect it to be getting better each day. The swelling can be quite impressive initially, but here again, things improve daily. It may take a month or two for the swelling to resolve completely.
Infections, if they occur, usually are seen at around 7 days.
I advise my patients not to be sexually active for at least a week or two.
