A member asked:

My boyfriend had open hernia surgery and they put a mesh in he still gets pain in his testicles and where the mesh is . is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Usually the pain gets better with time. If it does not then it may indicate nerve damage. If the pain is persistent then he needs to see a pain md. Local injections may help.
