swollen scrotum after hernia surgery Posted: 03-07-08 21:44pm
I've had an inguinal hernia for about one
year and 3 months in which i worked
construction and did a good deal of
traveling and hence walking. The intestine
descended into my scrotum early on, about
three months after the origional
potrusion.
I had a laproscopic surgery recently,
exactly 8 days ago to repair the hernia.
For the first two days, everything seemed
to be going well other then the expected
pain. After 3 or 4 days, I noticed that my
scrotum became quite enlarged where it
wasn't before. Now on my eighth day, I am
quite recovered... I can walk and climb
stairs with little or no pain, but my left
testicle is very sensitive and tender.
When I stand i feel testicular pain from
the weight of it.
I have read about something called
Ischemic orchitis. After reading about
this, I began freaking out. I called my
surgeon in her house and she told me that
it probably wasn't so because I would be
in alot more pain and that it was possible
that the fluids had hardened in my
scrotum. I can feel my right testicle
seperate and normal sized but my left
testicle is either swollen or caught in
one giant mass of fluid.
Has anyone experienced a similiar problem?
Any kind of advice on the subject would be
appreciated. Thank you all for your
concern. P.S. I am 22 and my weight is
normal and I am otherwise quite healthy.

I had swollen testicles after surgery.
Given the time this was posted, that
should be gone by now.

You should be feeling better by now.
How are you doing any relief, any further
contact with your doctor?
