Suggest Treatment For Enlarged Testicle After Inguinal Hernia Surgery
Question: I had inguinal hernia surgery 4 days ago every thing looks good except my left testical is 6x larger than should be like I never had the surgery ischemia and how is it fixed if this is the case but I don't have the symptoms of ischemia like the pain and vomiting I've read a little on it and basically they remove the testi is that true. I don't see my DR. till Tuesday and this problem didn't accrue until after surgery before surgery I could push the hernia back up in place and my testical was normal size
Brief Answer:
It's due to collection Of fluid
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
The enlargement is due to collection of fluid (odema). When hernia is reduced and repaired that area becomes empty space. Surrounding lining secretes fluid causing it to enlarge .
In hernia surgery they won't do anything with testis. Nor they fix it or they remove it. They just place it back into scrotum after repairing hernia. They only remove testis if it is not functioning or in aged (>70yrs) people with recurrent hernia. Before removing they will take permission of patient.
Yes it is not ischemia. It will cause severe pain. For this you need to take anti odema measures like take serratiopeptidase tablets thrice daily and ware tight underware so that it support the scrotum well and reduce odema. Scrotum shouldn't be hanging loosely.
Hope I have answered your query. If any further queries are there I would love to help you.
