If you're experiencing swelling near the testicles after inguinal hernia surgery, here are a few steps you can take: Consult Your Surgeon: It’s important to follow up with the surgeon who performed your operation. They can assess the swelling to determine if it’s a normal part of healing or if there are any complications. Monitor Symptoms: Keep an eye on any additional symptoms, such as pain, redness, or fever, which could indicate an infection or other issues. Rest and Elevation: Ensure you're resting adequately and consider elevating the scrotum to reduce swelling. Cold Compress: Applying a cold compress to the area can help reduce swelling. Avoid Strain: Avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activities that might aggravate the area. Follow Post-Op Instructions: Adhere to any post-operative care instructions given by your doctor, including medications or activity restrictions. |
