What Causes Swelling And Discoloration Of Scrotal Sac After Appendectomy?

I'm recovering from an apendectomy from a week ago. My scrotal scac has become swollen and discolored. I have since went for a ct scan, xray and an ultrasound and the results did not reveal any internal bleeding. Can u tell me what causes this and is there any treatment to decrease the swelling

Internal Medicine Specialist,  's  Response
Hello,

First of all, I want to know what sort of surgery you underwent? Was it an open surgery or a laparoscopic one? Was the appendix inflamed or ruptured? This might suggest some oozing of fluid and blood from the surgery site and accumulation into the scrotal sac or it might be due to underlying abscess formation as well. I suggest you to visit your doctor again and get checked thoroughly and treated if necessary.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sameen Bin Naeem, General & Family Physician
