Common Questions and Answers about Hernia surgery swelling scrotum

Three weeks after having a laparoscopic appendectomy I noticed some swelling and tenderness in my left groin. There was no bulge, but I told my doctor it felt like a hernia. He gave me an exam and told me that it was a small inguinal hernia. I scheduled the surgery to have it repaired, but while waiting to have that done I would occasionally have this discomfort on the upper-left side of my scrotum.
Just had a large left inguinal hernia repaired last thursday that pushed it out of my scrotum which look ginormous at the time. When i woke up my scrotum look rather normal but a couple days later i noticed it started swelling a bit but nothing even close to what it was before. I read that there is usually fluid that fills up where thr hernia used to be for a couple weeks but im not sure.
I have noticed swelling occuring in the scrotum behind the testes, and it is very discomforting, and minorly painful. The symptoms seem something similar to a hydrocele but I am not sure.
The swelling occured today and the scrotum appears to have swollen to the size of a grapefruit.
The testicles are completely unaffected, I am just unsure of my condition for I am only 16 years old
If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated if you could tell me how to recover properly.
Hi,
In 1999 I had a vasectomy and developed a hematoma after requiring emergency surgery to remove the blood cloth. The result was that the left testicle was fixed in the scrotum. When the surgery is done the testicle is attached to the inner muscular tissue of the testicle. This caused discomfort sitting or like mentioned with an erection.
One thing that I ended up with was a small hole in the scrotum that never healed.
Common symptoms of this condition are pain or discomfort in groin, especially when bending over, dragging sensation over the groin. Ocassionally, in men pain and swelling in the scrotum around testicles can occur due to descent of the protruding intestine into the scrotum. This can cause intestinal obstruction, leading to constipation.
The bones (vertebrae) in the back are cushioned by small, spongy discs.
I had open mesh left inguinal hernia surgery 8 days ago. My testicles have been dark purple ever since, but seem like they may FINALLY be beginning to improve a bit. I haven't had much testicular swelling, just tender and sensitive, but my left spermatic cord seems to be a bit swollen, and my testicles seem to be hanging in sort of a strange way.
Do you have any swelling in the inguinal region or in the scrotum? If you do have such a swelling it could well be a hernia. Hernia is usually associated with dull aching dragging pain in the inguinal region with radiation to the back or abdomen. Please see a general surgeon if you have any such problems. Some times lumbar spine diseases or low back problems could radiate pain into the thigh. Do you have any pain in the lower limbs also?
In some cases, the hernia may move into the scrotum. Men are much more likely to develop an inguinal hernia than women because of a potential weakness in the abdominal wall at the groin. If a lump in the scrotum is an inguinal hernia, the impulse from a cough may be felt in the scrotum. "
"A soft lump in the scrotum, especially if you can get your fingers between it and the testicle, is most likely to be a hydrocele.
Yes, I think a hernia can go into the scrotum. Hernia pain can also come and go.

ve had a hydrocele surgery at the age of six, left side inguinal hernia surgery at the age of 10, and a right side inguinal hernia surgery at the age of 24. My right testicle have been attached closer to my body since my hydrocele surgery and I can clearly remember how uncomfortable it felt to have such an abnormal position of your testicle. After 20 years, I still feel some discomforting pains (on my right testicle) when exercising.
I am so sorry your relative is in Pakistan and can't get treatment due the the cost. Even here in the US it can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, more then 99% of what the average American can afford.
That is a horrible situation to be in. Knowing that if your relative had been here in the US they could survive this disease.
Thank you for reminded us how good we have it here in the US despite all of the problems we have with our medical system.
I had an undescended (right) testicle at birth, for which I had surgery when I was 2.5 years old. An year later ( at 3.5 years) I had a hernia operation also. Now, for the past one year I have observed a very small painless irregularity on my right testis. This lump has not grown at all for as long as I can remember. I was not concerned about it until recently when I started reading about testicular cancer.
Hello,
The first possibility is of a boil or abscess in the area. The second possibility is of a perineal hernia. It is a hernia involving the perineum (pelvic floor), mostly found in men and often appears as a sudden swelling to one side (sometimes both sides) of the anus.
Second possibility which comes to my mind is of pilonidal cyst.
A hydrocele is a fluid-filled sac surrounding a testicle that results in swelling of the scrotum, the loose bag of skin underneath the penis. About one in 10 male infants has a hydrocele at birth, but most hydroceles disappear without treatment within the first year of life. Additionally, men — usually older than 40 — can develop a hydrocele due to inflammation or injury within the scrotum.
Hydroceles usually aren't painful. Typically not harmful, hydroceles may require no treatment.
I had a recent hernia repair with a biological mesh to replace a synthetic mesh that had become infected. Due to complications, I think a harsh reaction of my body to the biological mesh (although the doctors won't admit it), my left testicle has lost blood supply and died. It is extremely swollen to about the size of a baseball and it is very painful. A urologist and the surgeon both recommended to leave the testicle alone and not do another surgery and introduce more trauma.
Within the last week, I have been feelin a minor annoying pain on the bottom left side of my scrotum. Feels similar to when shaving and as the hair grows back a slight burn. Guess u can say razor burn. Pls help....
Do you have pain or swelling in scrotum? Get urine and blood investigations to find out the cause followed by ultrasound KUB.
Try anti inflammatory drugs along with plenty of fluids and also wear scrotal support in case of swelling of scrotum. If no relief is seen in 3 days, do consult doctor. Swollen lymph nodes are suggestive of infection hence a course of antibiotic is must.
Hi,
What you are referring to is known as Secondary testicular Ascent and it’s a known complication of inguinal herniotomy (hernia surgery). The small mobile prepubertal testis is either dislocated from its normal scrotal position or due to the tethering by the scar tissue prevents its normal scrotal descent. The incidence of this complication is from 1-3%. Actually, in some cases, the testis may already lying high in the scrotum and may be concealed by the hernia.
