Q: Feeling of movement in groin

Hernia surgery went great. They used mesh. But even since the surgery..when i sit upright or stand and walk..i feel as if something is moving from the incision line down to my scrotum. It doesnt hurt..its just a weird, gross feeling like something keeps moving. I am guessing this is normal but just want to make sure.

Thanks

If you don't have any evidence of hernia recurrence or infection at the surgical site, you may need to give it some more time to heal, as it takes 6 to 12 months for complete healing to occur.

However, if you have any concerns about your recovery from this surgery, then you should definitely follow-up with your surgeon.
