I had the repair done on Monday and the surgeon told my wife that he had removed a hernia the size cantaloupe and it took 10 staples to close the wound. And my penis and festivals are still badly swollen .

I just had the same surgery 3 days ago with the same results. No pain but it sure looks awful. How long did it take to go away

My question is, is that normal? Because the pain in my belly button is overwhelming and the black areas are getting darker.

Had inguinal hernia surgery yesterday and have been eating really healthy as well as taking my meds as well, so I'm healing pretty fast.. But there is the swelling as if my hernia wasn't removed. I saw some comments about ice packs and I'm wondering if I should ice where there was the incision or my balls?

Had left side open 10 days ago. I'm back to limited work. Swelling down, penis back to usual.

I've spent a lot of time reading the many posts here. This is what I've learned:

1. Spend as much time as possible horizontal, legs up even.

2. Ibuprophene

3. Ice as much as possible

4. Compression shorts all the time until day 7, then sleep at night naked. Let the body adjust.

5. Take walks. Slow at first, but the help healing.

6. Good laxative every night.

7. Chew gum a few times a day to keep digestive track awake.

8. Stuff fold towel between legs at night.

9. It sucks the first few days, but each day you'll see progress. Stay positive.

10. Cut salt intake.

Hope this helps others. Pain meds depend on your capacity. I can walk 2 miles a day now. A few more weeks and I'm back to the gym for light workouts.

Ice everything! It speeds the process up and reduces pain.

I just got a right inguinal hernia performed at the VA hospital in FL St Pete. I had to go back 3 times to check on my pain, the right testicle
Started getting swollen, very painful and the skin on my penis blew up like a blow fish? Is this a natural thing too? I have been back several times and they said it's "ok" I've never seen any ring like this, has any of you ?if anybody knows anything,, I am a disable vet and they are treating me like c**p!!
