What Causes A Huge Lump At Surgical Site Post Inguinal Hernia Surgery?

I recently got a inguinal hernia surgery done, its been a little over a week now, theres no more pain on the surgical site, but there is however a huge lump in my right side of the scrotum where they removed the hydrocele. I was wondering what this is? And should i be worried? I cant even feel my right testicle, seems like this bulge has eaten it up or somethin

Hi,
It seems that there might be having some hematoma formation after surgery.
Gradually it will be absorbed.
Apply ice pack 2-3 times a day for few days.
But to be on safe side consult your treating doctor and get examined.
Ok and take care.
