A member asked:
How long should the swelling last in the scrotal area and what can i do to get the swelling down i had inguinal hernia 5 weeks ago.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scrotal swelling: Scrotal swelling as well as black and blue discoloration may occur after inguinal hernia surgery. The swelling may last days to weeks. Weeks or months after hernia surgery a hydrocele,a watery collection in the scrotum, may occur. If you have continuing concerns, see the surgeon who performed your procedure for evaluation and advice.
