Not right: Your wounds should have completely healed by now. There is something wrong and you should go back to the surgeon to find out what can be done.

Need to be examined: Local wound edema should resolve in couple of weeks and your swelling of the scrotum is increasing hydrocele is fluid build up in the scrotum any way this is something that needs to be checked by your surgeon soon good luck.
