What Causes Pain In The Testicle After An Inguinal Hernia Removal Surgery?
Hello, i have had an inguino scrotal hernia removed 7 days ago. My left side of my scrotum was swollen but i now fit in the s upport that i was given, thereore i feel the swelling was coming down. Now however there is very little difference in the size, but this is causing me loads of pain, as in i cant walk without fear of passing out kinda pain. The area is around 5 times the size that it was before the surgery and im getting pulses of pain in the testicle. I have been in bed lying down mostly and taking pain medication and anti inflamatories. Is this normal or should i seek further advice prior to seeing my surgeon next week ?

What Causes Pain In The Testicle After An Inguinal Hernia Removal Surgery?
Hello, Most probably it could be due to nerve entrapment or inflammation. As of now you can use analgesics/anti inflammatory combination like aceclofenac/seratiopeptdase for symptomatic relief. If symptoms persists you can consult a general surgeon and plan for an ultrasound scan. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
