A member asked:
I had an orchiopexy performed 4 days ago for intermittent torsion, the testicle has become firm but not overly painful, is this a normal symptom ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is okay...: ... for now--4 days after testicular surgical fixation for its torsion. The pace and eventual outcome of postoperative tissue resolution widely vary reflecting the magnitude of surgery and the professional skill which are associated with expected tissue injury. So, all what you reported could be normal as long as slowly but surely getting better day by day. Give time. More? Ask your surgeon timely
