After Having The Inguinal Hernia Repair Fluid Is Migrating Into The Scrotum

Hi, I recently had an inguinal hernia repair on my right side. It's been 6 days. There is now fluid from the surgery migrating into my scrotum on the right side. There is a little pain. The doctor said this is normal. Is it ok to masturbate at thiss time?

Hello
Thanks for query .

You have undergone surgery for hernia repair on Rt side and has noticed swelling of the Scrotum due to accumulation of fluid in scrotum.

It is common to get swelling of the scrotum after hernia surgery due to serous inflammatory fluid that transmits from site of surgery along the fascial planes and gets accumulated in scrotum.

There is nothing to be worried about it .You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefixime along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily.

It will get resolved within 2 weeks .Refrain from masturbation till you recover completely .
