I had an open hernia repair 4 days ago and after the first 2 days or so have developed a slight bruising on the top of my scotum and at the base of the penis. The surgery was on the right side and now my right testicle is quite swollen and a little bit sore. I talked to the doctor 2 days ago and said that I had some swelling in the scrotal area and he said that that was normal, some people swell more than others, and that it can take 2-3 weeks for the swelling to subside. My worry is that at the time I didn't really realize that it was the testicle that was swollen and since I didn't mention the testicle specifically I'm not sure if this is normal or not. I'm curious about whether anyone else has had a similar experience and what their outcome was. Thanks...

It is 7 am I am 1 week and 2 days deep in recovery from my open hernia surgery. in my case my left testicle has fallen lower than my right, or in other words it is hanging lower than the right one, and there is a very sharp pain in it and though the scrotum. the swelling in the insision arear is going down and the brusing on the base of the pubic bone area and penis is demisnishing but this new pain in the left testicle has just started. it hurts like hell, and i just took an advil and and hoping it is normal. i have not called the doc for she seems to never call me back when i do anyway and , it is a saturday.
if anybody knows if i should run to the er or not please email me at _[removed]_ i do not want to run there if i am being a wimp, but i as well do not wish to die of sum infection or some other scary stuff.
thank you.

I has my surgery 5 days ago, and the morning after my scrotum was black and purple, and it continued up my shaft, I was also told that after the surgery my testicle could shrink, which I think has happened slightly, so it sounds like these symptoms are quite common.

The undescended testicle (left) was there since my birth. About 5 months back the testicle started scrotal swelling on the left inguinal region like an oval hypoechoic structure. And there is a varicose vein in the left leg. What does that mean?
