Experiencing Pain ,swelling Entire Area Around The Incision Area Of The Penis

My husband had hernia surgery 5 days ago. Inquinal, right side, mesh used. Tonight he is in excruciating pain and says it feels like something is torn inside. He has swelling of entire area around incision and his penis and scrotum are black and blue and swollen. Should we call a doctor or is this normal?

Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that your husband has undergone surgery for Inguinal Hernia 6 days back and has developed sweeling of the penis and scrotum with severe pain .

Black coloration and swelling are most likely to be due to bleeding inside and needs urgent attention.

Please consult operating surgeon for examination and get ultrasound scanning done to confirm
whether there is collection of blood (Haematoma) inside.

If proved positive he may need to be explored again to stop the bleeding.
