My husband had inguinal hernia repair 9 days ago. He had swelling and bruising of his genitals. However, since then the swelling and bruising has completely regressed in one testicle and his penis. His other testicle is still swollen to twice is normal size and rock hard. No soft points in any part of it at all.
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. Surgery in this area may cause hemorrhage sometimes. This hemorrhage may get clotted in some area, I suspect it in your testis of one side. Hard testis may be because of the clotted blood. But direct visual examination can confirm the status. I advise you to do physical examination of the testis and related genitalia. If its simply hemorrhage than you can wait for some time to get hemorrhage retract. In case of any infection or malignancy you can take antibiotic or chemotherapy as per the case. Please take doctors guidance before acting. Please avoid injury to the related part. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor
