my husband has a hernia that has now dropped all the way down into his scrotum . It is a little bigger than a ten.ball, the left one being about the size of a grape. it is quite sore and is really hard inside. Is he in any more danger now that it has dropped down there. If I recall, it seems like one of the Drs. said something to him about this being more dangerous.
Hi thanks for your query As per discussion your husband had inguinal hernia descend to scrotum also known as scrotal hernia It comprises a protrusion of abdominal contents through the fascia of the abdominal wall If your husband have a hernia, it will not heal on its own. Surgery is the only way to treat a hernia. Hernia itself does not bother you, you most likely can wait to have surgery. Your hernia may get worse, but it may not. In some cases, hernias that are small and painless may never need to be repaired. Strangulation, a serious problem that occurs when part of your intestine gets trapped inside the hernia. Surgery is advisable to avoid this life-threatening complications you may not need surgery right away. If the hernia is small and painless, and you can push it back into your belly, you may be able to wait. Take care
