After hernia surgery, there is swelling in the left testicle and then the testicle has become hard. There is also pain in the testicle. What does this indicate? What is the treatment for it? |

After hernia surgery, if the left testicle becomes swollen, hard, and painful, it may indicate a few possible problems: Swelling due to surgery (post-surgical inflammation) – This is common and usually goes away in a few weeks. Hydrocele – A fluid buildup around the testicle, which can cause swelling and discomfort. Infection (Orchitis or Epididymitis) – This causes pain, redness, and hardness. It needs quick treatment with antibiotics. Reduced blood flow (Testicular ischemia) – Rare but serious. It happens if the blood supply to the testicle is affected during surgery, leading to pain and hardening. Hematoma – Collection of blood in the scrotum after surgery. Treatment depends on the cause: For mild swelling: Rest, ice packs, and scrotal support can help. For infection: Antibiotics and painkillers are needed. For hydrocele or hematoma: It may get absorbed with time, or sometimes needs surgery. If blood supply is affected: Emergency treatment is needed to save the testicle. |
