I'm a 22y male, 67kg. recently i had a mesh repair for my inguinal hernia. after 13 days of the operation, the wound gets swelled. is that normal?

Likely: There is usually some resolving hematoma and fluid around the surgical site and the mesh. Should stabilize discussion with surgeon and follow instructions.

No: You should call and discuss this with your surgeon. This could be a benign problem, but could also be an infection at the surgical site.
