Q: Sugery on ball above left testicle inside scrotum

Hi, I had sugery on a ball inside my scrotum above my left testicle. The doctor made three incisions below my belly button. the cuts are not affecting me. Inside my scrotum above my left testicle I still have a ball that goes away and comes back. I get a sharp pain everyonce in a while when I'm just sitting down. It mainly comes when I am walking and take left steps. Today is 5/25 I had sugery last week Thursday. My doctor told me that after sugery the area will fill up with fluids for a little while. I am just worried because I still have the ball in the same spot and it just hurts worst. After sugery isn't the ball suppsed to not be there? I understand that they put a mesh inside me to cover up a rip but, if it covers up the rip how come there is still a ball showing up? Please help thankyou

Usually, a week after surgery is too soon to have hernia relapse, but this must be checked by your surgeon because it can really happen.
In 10-15% of patients after the hernia repair, pain is present for longer than few days following the surgery, and subsides over the early months.
The scrotal swelling often follows this procedure, and in some cases pain is eased when the swelling is decreased.

Best wishes!
