Is Hernia Associated With Abdomen & Testicle Sores ?

I had a bilateral laposcopic hernia surgery12 days ago. I'm 64 yrs old. 5'7" and 163#'s I have a chronic lung disease and sometimes cough deeply. My abdomen is sore on the right side away from the incisions, and my testicles are sore and sensitive. Is this normal? or could I have another hernia from coughing, which caused my first hernias?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Good understanding of the problem, great!
The laparoscopic hernia repair require lots of internal dissection and placement of the mesh.
During dissection or during placement of the mesh many small nerves may get injured or entrapped during placement of stitches or tackers or lateron in the fibrosis.
This will cause the typical pain you are experiencing in abdomen and cause soreness in the testes.
Usually this type of pain may get OK on its own over a time period; you may ask for the painkillers related to such problems to have a comfortable life.

No, there does not looks to be a recurrence of hernia.
