sagging testicles after surgery Posted: 06-25-08 16:38pm
I just got Hernia surgery 2 days ago. I've
been in ALOT of pain only when I walk and
I figured out what it's from. At first the
pain was just from the swelling from the
surgery but I just realized that pain is
much better. My testicles are sagging alot
and I guess it's pulling on where I had my
surgery. When I lift them up the pain goes
away completely so I know thats what it's
from. Why are they sagging so much? If it
wasn't for that I would rarely be in any
pain at all. I'm only 18 so they should
not be sagging like this.

I have been asked to respond personally to
your post. Please remember that I am not
a doctor, but someone who has been thru
this as you are going thru. Right now you
are still very early in post op and
remember that they had to move and stretch
a lot of tissue and ligaments out of the
way to repair your hernia. They also
should have noted the three major nerves
that run thru your groin and if the
surgery was done correctly, the surgeon
should have moved those nerves out of the
way and then repaired your hernia. While
moving all of this out of the way, things
get stretched, especially the genital
femoral nerve which branches out, one
branch of that nerve runs in to your upper
thigh while the other branch runs in to
your testicle. While on a male the
testicle is one of the most sensitive
parts of the body it is no wonder that you
feel pain there and the sagging you
described. Over time if the surgery was
done correctly, the sagging will disapate
and begin to correct itself. If after 2 or
3 months you are still having the problem,
you should speak to a Urologist, but I
would bet that it will take care of itself
over time. You are only 18 and you should
heal rather quickly and be back to normal
in no time. I hope this was helpful to
you. if you would like to speak further I
can be reached coac
