Ive recently ( one week ago) had a right sided inguinal hernia repair, a mesh was used. I am concerned that Im getting funny sensations in the groin, the occasional bit of shooting discomfort into the right side of the penis and testicle ( I assume this is nerve related) and pain in the right side of my back (SI joint region) when I sit too long. And when I empty my bladder it feels as I havent emptied it fully and within in 30 minutes I need to go to the toilet again.Its also numb around the incision area. What I am experiencing is this normal? will all these symptoms eventually wear off?. I wasnt informed of any of this before my surgery and now I am concerned and worried. Im started to regret having the surgery. Thanks
Hello. Thank you for the query. After inguinal hernia surgery the main symptom is pain in the wound area. Other mentioned symptoms are not characteristic. Your symptoms indicate urinary tract infection or testis inflammation. Frequent urinating, burning while urinating, back main, lower abdominal pain and groin pain are typical UTI symptoms. I suggest you to visit your doctor, have urinalysis and testis ultrasound. Hope this will help. Regards
