Hello,
Immediately after surgery there is possibility of hematoma or infection late causes like reaccurence of injury or varicose veins (varicocele)etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Get it done ultrasound abdomen and scrotum.
Then consult your surgeon he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
