inguinal hernia surgery side effect ? Posted: 07-12-08 08:18am
I am a 32 years man. Last year I had a
inguinal hernia surgery operation.
Before the surgery operation, my left
scrotum was bigger than my right scrotum.
After surgery the size of scrotum are the
same.
But this is not my problem , my problem is
that the size of my penis (both width and
length) during erection has dramatically
decreased after the surgery operation.
I precise that the normal size of the
penis is of course the same but the size
of it during erection (maximal size) has
dramatically decreased.
This problem happened to me after surgery.
At first I thought it is a normal
condition after surgery but even now this
condition has not been improved .
What is the cause of this problem and what
is the treatment?
Thank you in advance.

The problem can be from scar tissue or
from the mesh (if mesh was used in your
hernia repair).
I will send a pm to the male who is on
here from time to time.
He can better explain this to you.

First off I suggest you see a urologist,
Secodly you did not mention what if you
had a mesh implant. I will do my best to
answer this for you but please remember I
am not a doctor. I am going to assume you
had a mesh implant. When an inguinal
hernia is repaired the spermatic cord is
removed from the floor of your groin and a
mesh put in to recreate the internal ring,
the spermatic cord is then put thru a slit
in the mesh and the replaced back to its
anotomical position, I can figure that the
slit may be to tight around the cord for
one which in turn the mesh may be chocking
off the blood supply, so that when you
have an erection it may not be what you
feel is a normal size. I have not heard of
this problem before, but have heard that
many men after a hernia operation begin
having severe pain in their testicles.
Like I mentioned earlier you should go to
a Urologist and bring this up to him. I
feel that the mesh inside of you is
chocking off the blood supply to your
penis and your testicle and should be
relieved or it will sterilize you if left
to long. That is my opinion only, maybe
the urologist or your family doctor can
give you another reason. I hope this
helps.
you are welcome jffun.
I would strongly recommend talking with
the urologist about this. I know it's been
a concern of many men and even women.
Please let us know how you are doing.
