I had a pretty large scrotum hernia repaired a week ago. Felt ok on 5th and 6th day. Day 7 is pain in groin area where the hernia used to be with bad swelling and it feels very warm to touch even after I applied the ice pack. Is this normal? What can I do to minimize swelling and the pain that comes with it. Should I use hot or cold on that area? Swelling, It almost tickles and burns on its own.
Hi Welcome to Chat Doctor forum.  It appears that there is definitely a problem with the surgery. It may be the sliding of the mesh if kept, or opening of sutures, strangulation of a fragment of the hernia, or surgical hernia.  I advise you to consult your surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have M.R.I, for confirmation.  Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts and protein rich food, to support the treatment.  Wising for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
