Spermatocelectomy,no Pain,swollen
Question: I had a Spermatocelectomy performed 7 days ago. I am in no pain, but am swollen. What is the normal amount of swelling after 7 days? I am due to be examined by the doctor in 6 days?
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Spermacelectomy is a surgical procedure to separate the epididymis from the spermatocele. It is common to find scrotal swelling after the procedure and scrotal swelling is usual and will typically last from 2 –21 days. You have to wear a scrotal support for 7–14 days after the procedure and apply cold compresses. Also take your anti inflammatory medicines as prescribed as they help a lot in decreasing the swelling.
If there is any pain, redness, warmth of the area or fever then possibility of infection is important to be ruled out.
