A member asked:
Is it safe to return to work that requires constant lifting six weeks after inguinal hernia repair if you still have testicle swelling?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Check: Please check with your surgeon. It will depend on how much weight you are talking about, how often is "constant",whether mesh was used or not,the degree of testicular swelling, your pain tolerance..etc. Good luck.
