Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day,
Dear Mr XXXXXXX
Enlarged Testis is seen often after Hernial Surgery, incidence being ess with Laparoscopic Surgery(Keyhole surgery) as the Spermatic cord handling is less. The Testis could be enlarged due to cord and testicular oedema. I hope post operative course was uneventful and any possible recurrence has been ruled out in follow up.
Providing good scrotal support by wearing right size underwear will be beneficial.
You can definitely get back to playing golf. In the absence of other complaints there is definitely no cause for concern. Its already been more than 6 weeks following Surgery, so you can definitely get back to your previous pre-operative schedule.
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance , will be glad to assist you.
Take Care
