I too had open inguinal hernia repair. I am 7 days post op.
Feeling better, but my concern is the swelling, and now my right testicle is raised very high above its usual resting place.
Still very much swelling and testicle is very swollen. Dr. Visit in 2 day to discuss.

my symptoms are identical to yours but I guess to know I,m not the only one in that situation gives me some hope for the future. mine was a double hernia fixed by laparoscope method but I had been told nothing about the testicular problems and that has really worried me.ie day of surgery and morning after was really quite good but by god I hit the wall that afternoon and ever since with horrible pain. lets hope the actual op was a success.

Now, just over 6 weeks post op Bi lateral inguinal hernia with mesh. happy to report, testicles are returning to near normal size & my incision sites are also looking like preop. Still a little ways to go. But, I am feeling very optimistic.

I had the same surgery in July. I never went to my post op thinking everything was good but 3 months later the right testicle is still swollen about 3x the normal size, not painful just super uncomfortable. I was starting to get worried and was thinking I would call tomorrow. Did your swelling go away? Did the Doc say what the swelling was?

Reference Willie man
I had incarcerated inguinal hernia, with appendix removal ,8 days ago .
Lots of swelling on testicle and scrotem.surgeon says this is due to extensive work done in surgery.
Tells me if it doesn't improve he'll run tests after 3/5 weeks. Not impressed with dialogue between us .only 8 days well see

Had open hernia surgery last Thursday. First 3 days not too bad. Then wow on the 4th day my left testicle was the size of a tennis ball with extreme pain. Over the last 2 days size and pain hasnt changed. Rang my Dr yesterday and was advised its normal should improve over the next couple of days.
Here's hoping !!!

Hi guys, I had laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery 4 weeks ago. First 2weeks there was moderate pain and discomfort. Third and fourth week were good, I was able to do my stuff and went to work without any issue. But from last two days I am constant in the left scrotum or testical. There is light bulge on top of the testicle and redness. I feel okay when I lie down on a bed but when I sit or stand it hurts. With the constant pain I am not able to concentrate at work. Is this normal or should I be concerned

It will take time to heal I had one done that included the diastasis area.My whole penis and testicle area was swollen for days.Yes it does get better your body might take its time.

As a nervous bilateral hernia patient, in the first few days following surgery, much appreciate stories from others suffering similar swelling and discolouration of private parts after spending longer than advisablesitting out of bed. Much appreciate hearing "normal"

I'm experiencing the same as you. It eased my worried mind after reading your painful post surgery. Get better and thank you very much. John
