Had A Double Hernia Operation, Groins Swollen And Sore Testicles. Is It Normal?
yes hello i have just had a double hernia op last week on wed.one in the right groin and also an umbilical .i wake up in morning feeling sore but i havent been doing any lifting but walking alot just in the last 2 days.Now my testicles seem really sore and my groin seem really swollen again .is this normal cause they fell like there getting pulled or twisting .
Hi, It will take a few weeks to fully recover from this type of surgery. Therefore, I would consider this is quite normal progress at this stage. It is good to walk to aid post-operative recovery. Take paracetamol and ibuprofen for any pain and drink plenty of fluids. Wear supportive undergarments if you are feeling swollen. Best regards.
hi, thank you for your query. post hernia op-Pain persisting beyond the first few days after groin hernia repair is seen in 10–15% patients.the pain generally subsides over the early months.
as for swelling-it is quite common to have a swelling in the scrotum. This swelling contains water, and may contain some blood if bleeding has occurred. This is a result of the peculiar anatomy of the region. The swelling resolves with time. if the symptoms dont subside after few days then its better to consult your surgeon.
thank you, wishing you good health
