Testicle swelled 5 days after open indirect inguinal hernia surgery 2.5x normal size and is bascally the same size 8 weeks later. is this normal?

No: You must report this problem to the surgeon who performed your procedure and if he/she isn't helpful you must consult a urologist. There may only be watery accumulation in the scrotum rather than true swelling of the testicles,but nevertheless you require an evaluation and diagnosis as well as advice regarding management.

Hernia surgery: some degree of swelling is normal for this type of surgery but you need to follow up closely with the surgeon

Her are some...: Swelling in the sac - not testicle - after inguinal hernia repair is common and may last weeks or even months; that is okay as long as getting smaller and smaller with lesser pain and ache day by day and week by week. Of course, occasionally inadvertent injury to testicular artery may happen but extremely rare at experienced hands. More? Ask the surgeon for individual detail. Best wishes...

No: Have it reevaluated. You may have hydrocele.

No: Post operative swelling may be due to hematoma which can take up to 12 weeks or more to resolve depending on size. But, certainly needs to be followed closely w ultrasound and possible antibiotics to prevent infection

Not normal: This may well be a surgical complication, possibly the reconstructed external inguinal ring, thru which pass testicular blood vessels & vas, is now too narrow. Lymph flow &/or venous return may now be obstructed. Swelling is either due to edema or a hydrocele. Your surgeon is obliged to see you gratis as UR within 3 month global following surgery. See urologist if surgeon can't help you. Good Luck
