What Causes Swelling On Scrotum After A Right Inguinal Hernia Open Mesh Repair?
I had a right inguinal hernia open mesh repair done on May 13 and I noticed yesterday May 17 that my scrotum swelled 3x normal size. I don't have any real pain and I can urinate. No penis swelling. It feels like a mass of fluid in the sac. Is this normal? My 4-5 inch scar seems to be be healing great. I can walk fairly normal, but this scrotum enlargement scares me. I do have prescription anti-inflammatory pills that I am taking daily for 8 day (as well as pain killers). When should my scrotum come back to normal size? Thanks for any info
Your scrotum size should come to normal size in 2 to 3 days. You can try anti-inflammatory medication for oedema to subside. If your problem persists need to meet your surgeon in person.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
